Default Help please!!!

I just got my 1st gx its a 06 model with 62000 mi. Little banged up, but for I paid for it made up for it. It came off of CPO in Jan. Flew out to Raleigh N.C. drove it back to ATL on Friday what a smoooth ride. new tires Mirada Cross Tour with 70,000 warranty. Few dents, its already at the body shop hope to get it today. Anyway few questions? on the way home notice the TPMS light would come when I cranked it up and went a few miles down the road then light would go off, the tires didn't look low. 2nd they replaced the battery few weeks ago and I saw the airbag light stays on don't know if that has anything to do with it but that's why I'm here. Any help would be great.
Thanks....

on the tire thing, if i had to count on how they looked for evaluating air pressure i wouldn't need a tire pressure gauge. check em and then check manual to see if there is a procedure for resetting TPMS after battery disconnect or new tire installation.

Don't forget to check the spare tire!

ditto above re: check tire pressure (including spare ) w/ a gauge...

As for airbag MIL, with many vehicles the light will trigger if key is left in ignition (or on) while battery is disconnected. This is due to the readiness systems in place for airbags. Only recourse is to see someone w/ the Lexus/Toyota s/w system or a dealer for a reset/diagnostic.

Welcome and good luck
