That is normal operation. The system is designed this way to help the engine warm up more quickly.
The shift solenoid is located in the transmission and should be fairly easy to check with a volt/ohm meter and change if necessary, once you have identified which one "E" is. You can get online access to factory service manuals at techinfo.toyota.com for $10/day and identify the solenoid and its location. The solenoids should be accessible from the outside of the transmission case so you don't have to open up the transmission.
The best place to get a replacement solenoid is at a Lexus dealer.
