It's the same for all Trusted Travelers whether their KTN was issued by the TSA or the CBP (Global Entry and NEXUS).

Please refer to the following TSA website pages:

Can I access the TSA PreCheck® lane by showing my Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI card or TSA PreCheck® approval notification?
No. To receive TSA PreCheck®, you must include your Known Traveler Number (your CBP PASSID for Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI members) in the appropriate field of your airline reservation, and the TSA PreCheck® indicator must be displayed on the boarding pass to access the lanes.
If I am TSA PreCheck® eligible, am I guaranteed expedited screening?
No, TSA uses unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual is guaranteed expedited screening.
