Can you get a parts store to pull the error codes?

Two possible areas to check. One is a faulty brake switch in the cabin, and as I recall there is a TSB on this for the 04 models. Second possible culprit may be your battery, especially if you still have the original equipment battery in the car. Suggest you talk with your dealer about the brake switch TSB or some other Forumer may well have that info (try a forum search also). As far as the battery, suggest you have it tested. In our part of the US, we have Les Schwab Tire and they will test for free.

Thanks. Recently I replaced my tires and I think the guy filled air 35 psi, which is correct for RX330? Thanks again.

More like, what is your comfort level. Softer (30 PSI is what Lexus quotes) will give you a cushier ride, at the expense of handling and fuel mileage. I run ours at 34 PSI as a best compromise (for us) between mileage, handling and comfort.

I already did the following TSB in 2005: SSC 4LH 2004 RX330 BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH

If I take it to the Lexus dealership, will they charge me anything to check the issue. Also, these warning lights don't come on as offen.

So you think having 35 PSI is not the problem?

We had the same issue on our used 04 RX 330 with 46K mile. An independent Lexus shop in my area determined that the brake switch was bad after reading the error codes, they charged us $160 to fix it. Our car also has an expired warranty. Based on the Lexus repair records for our vehicle, the brake switch was fixed in the past, so they told us that we would have to pay to have the brake switch replaced at a cost of $200.

I always thought SSC is always free even after the warranty expired.

That's what we thought, but, according to this Lexus dealer, since it was already done and the vehicle was out of warranty I was out of luck. You can call your dealer and find out what they say. Keep us posted.
