Default TPMS issue leading its way to Ford

I am hoping this is where the TPMS reset is for my GS 350, the manual shows the reset where it is not on my GS 350. I love everything else about our GS but, Ugh, so frustrated Lexus got their manual wrong, stupid light, if I can not reset this stupid low pressure, I am getting a Ford.

What the hell is wrong with North American Fords..... why can't they build reliable vehicles like Ford does in Britain?

Ford has been plagued with numerous transmission failures through the years. I've known several people with Fords including myself who have experienced transmission failures with the brand.

I'm not sure I understand your issue. Are you stating you cannot find the TPMS reset button?

Your not very clear on what your actual problem but the reset switch is up underneath the dash.
It can't be seen from above and I agree the manual pic is not very good and doesn't explain that.
Good luck with your Ford and it's better manual!

Agree with the sentiments of others as its unclear as to your specific issue. Typically the TPMS reset themselves if you inflate/deflate and drive for a few minutes. The only reasons I can think of a problem with the TPMS sensor is are using a second set of wheels/tires; one of the sensors IDs was mis-programmed or one of the sensors is bad/malfunctioning -- all of which can be resolved.

Yes, the manual shows it to be on the left side of the steering column. It is not there. I was just outside looking and feeling under the dash looking for the TPMS, I found the heating ducts, some wires, still no switch. My issue is, Lexus goofed up on the manual and now wonder what else they are losing on the pursuit of perfection. I am so sick of the low pressure light, I overinflate the tires, light is still on, no reset anywhere. THank you for your concern, if you know of a way to reset the light, that would make my day. I just think it is stupid for me to have to take it to a garage to turn off the alarm.

I know what you are saying about fords and their transmission problems, I know a few folks who are happy with the C-Max hybrid with a CVS transmission, which seem reliable.

Great to hear that you found the reset switch and don't have to downgrade to a Ford

All the best,

Did you eventually find it exactly where the Lexus manual said it would be?
