Valve stem TPS - 2013 ES350

I have a new tire with a slow leak and I suspect a bad valve/TPMS assembly. Do I need a replacement from Lexus/Toyota or will a generic assembly from the tire dealer work with the car's TPMS monitoring system?

Thanks -

FYI - There is a comprehensive explanation on TPMS on the Tire Rack web site.
