Hi all. I just became the owner of a 2011 LS 460. I got it with 27500 K miles on it. The car drives beautifully and I am a very happy camper. Of course I have my first question today. My car shows the info of the pressure of the tires in a column way with no specification of left/right or back/rear. Is this normal or there is something wrong with the way my car shows this info?

That is how it is. I make my spare a little higher or lower so I was able to identify which at least is the spare. Welcome and you are going to love the LS

Is there a designated order?

The TPMS on the 2011s did not have a localization feature. The pressures are displayed in the order that their respective TPMS pressure sensor IDs were entered into the car's system. In other words, as far as you are concerned, the pressures are displayed in no particular order relative to their position on the car.

Welcome to our group - we are glad to have you.

Unfortunately, this is one of the shortcomings of the LS. The other, is the fact that you can only program one set of sensors to your vehicle. This is problematic for those who have an extra set of rims/tires (winter) that they install every year/season. This will require "cloning" a second set of TPMS sensors for those rims. This can cost around 250 dollars, but you'll only have to do this once.

Not to worry. While there is no rhyme or reason with regards to the tire pressure gauge, it does it's intended job. I'm on my 2nd winter with the car. Early in the season as it gets cold, one of my tires shows a low indicator. I take it in, have Lexus check and inflate and I'm good to go. You bought yourself a top notch ride. Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks to all for your replies. Here a pic of my new baby...

Very Nice! For my LS the top reading also seems to be the spare.

Congrats on your new car and I wish you good luck with it.

As far as Identifying the tires, I went around the car and deflated one tire at a time so I could identify where it was on the display.

Same for me.....

Recommend you set aside a couple hours to read the Owner's Manual cover to cover.

Pretty much every single aspect of your car is covered in there, including the TPMS.
