Default TPMS question

HI all:

I have 4 OE Sensors from a 2008 IS250. I'm giving them to someone with a 2008 LS460. The LS has pressure readouts on the instrument panel for each tire but the IS does not (only the "tire" light, if there's a problem). Anybody know if these sensors will these sensors work on the LS and provide the pressure readouts?

Markings on the back of the sensor are:
>PA66-GF33<
PACIFIC
Made in Japan
0762012561

Markings on the front are:
FCC ID:PAXPMV107J
IC: 3729A-PMV107J
MEXICO: RLVPAPM05-628
ETC094LPD0246
PACIFIC PMV-107J
PA66-GF33

This says yes:

But how old are the sensors? TPMS sensors have a battery and a life of 5 or 6 years. If yours are that old I would caution you against using them.

Yes, dealers and tire stores have a device that communicates with the sensors and can tell how much battery life is left (plus or minus).

I wish I knew this, I bought 4 new ones for 150 bucks, but didn't get them programmed for months. Everytime I drove by my house I would get a Low tire warning and I was atleast 50 feet away from the sensors! They must have had alot of battery life left to ping so far away.. And they were 10 years old...
