the blinking and solid light happens when the TPMS module can't see a sensor or multiple sensors. usually the cause is described above and unless you have the toyota software you can't fix this.
a more unlikely solution is the TPMS module that has gone bad and needs replacing. I don't think I've come across anyone that had to replace their TPMS module (the actual computer component) though

Here's some additional information. Tires were replaced 6 months ago. No issues with the TPMS light until a day ago, so I'm assuming they were programmed correctly at the time of the tire install.
Now here's the strange part. Just came back from running a few errands and no TPMS light. I can't imagine the problem resolved itself. Have to think the battery is on it's way out in one of the sensors..Here's a thought, I think the car battery may need to be replaced, could that possibly cause the issue?
