If installed and you need a confirmation they work, an Amazon sourced TPMS tool worked in my case to turn them on with audible feedback. You can do it without the tool by dropping the pressure (the manual describes the method and sequence). Still need to follow the procedure to use the tool without airing down the tires.

Not a 100% answer (that the sensors will work) but a quick visual of the valve stems will @ least tell you they are TPMS stems... They have a longer valve cap that extends past the treads than a non tpms valve stem....In case someone put a reg cap on the stem the TPMS stems have a smooth brass area almost a 1/4'' long past the threads !!
