After I have done a few tire buys and other, he actually does things like this for me for free. He a mod car Guy himself. Good Luck!
It’s pretty much all the Lexus with actual pressure displays, but the same sensor is rebranded by other manufactures. Pretty sure that sensor direct from Lexus is going to be stamped Pacific Industries. The exact sensor is also sold by Dill and Denso. Here is a good site to see part #’s

I bought a set of the Denso units from RockAuto for my IS F's "winter" wheels (I run all season tires in the cold months because Michelin PS4S is really sketchy in cold weather), but it doesn't have a real time display. They worked just fine for it, but I suspect they'd be problematic with the GS F's display. The dead giveaway is the complete failure in the signal check test. It sets all the possible DTCs for the ECU, then eliminates them one by one as the signals verify. That never happened and even the TPMS reset switch failed the test, so apparently there is an interaction with the reset switch and the sensors that failed to take place as well. Since the data acquisition portion failed, so did the sensor location algorithm and without that, no pressure can be displayed. This is really something else for sure.

This would have driven me crazy. That's a stressful PITA for sure. Its one thing to have to fix or replace something. A whole nother to have a problem that keeps resulting in the same fail issue over and over.

I hate that I'm headed back to the tire shop to swap sensors again when the replacement shows up. At least I got the sensor from Lexus, so I have confidence it will pass all the tests. This is one of those times I wish I had my own tire mounting machine and wheel balancer.

I’m on a couple different threads so might be forgetting, but did you ever post up the year/model and part numbers that were already installed?

Hopefully is likely this will resolve and put a end to it. I would not go back to the shop that damaged them at 1st. lol!

I ordered a set of sensors for the GS F from site sponsor MyLParts. With the CL5 code's 10% discount, they're pretty much the cheapest out there. Installed yesterday, and all sensors are reporting. TPMS light is out, and pressures are shown on both pressure displays as soon as you start the car. I kept the sensors that didn't work. I can use them on the IS F without any issues.

Good to see you resolved it and reported back in case anyone else has this problem.
