Your car is a 4th generation GS. You may get better theories on the issues you’re having in the sub forum for your model.

Yep, our Gen3s do not display tire pressure.

Have you looked in your Owners Manual for the answer?

The way BCLexus's linked video starts is the button I press to cycle through the range, mpg, tire pressure and blank list items in the center of the display, between speedo and tach.

I always monitor the outside temperature and I leave my Multi-Information Display on Tire Pressure, which I want to monitor all the time. I'll occasionally cycle through all the different available readouts from time-to-time, but mostly I'm only vaguely interested in Average MPG and Average Speed. I'm really OCD about having all four tires at the same [garage cold] pressure.

You can also select a default display screen so you don't have to cycle through them.

Me too. And there's always that one tire that just won't stay with the others.

I've been known to add a touch (1/10 of a second puff) of air to a lagging tire so each tire will increase their pressure reading within mere seconds of one another from a garage cold condition on a dark or heavily overcast day so the sun's radiation doesn't play an effect. It's somewhat a game with me...or that's what I'm claiming in lieu of being deranged. When I tweak my tire pressure it often gets down to removing a single puff of air, which probably equals ~0.10 psi. You can probably imagine how definitive I am about requesting that my tire pressure is not to be touched when servicing.

Last time that happened to me, turned out there was a nail in the side of the tire. They replaced it under warranty.

Jonathan - Pay no attention to Eddie. That nail he put in his tire was him attempting another self-proclaimed mod that just didn't work out.

Not quite that bad. As long as they stabilize once warmed up.

Does anyone else notice that if you start at the same pressure by your preferred gauge and they start out the same on the display from cold morning start that the rears warm up quicker and stabilize at 1psi increase above the fronts on the hiway?

Lol... as you drive though, if you're on the highway it'll usually even out. But even having the sun on one side of the car can throw it off a bit, lol.

Yeah, my cold set points on AWD F sport are 37 / 38 . And I mean cold by like, 55F ish.

Once I get going, the rears are always up faster and its more like 39/41 most of the time under continuous highway driving once they warm up.
