Default Tire Pressure Sensor Date Code?

I just bought a set. (new) Is there a date code to tell how old they are?

Are they AC Delco? If so it looks like there is a date wheel above the sel bar code on the sensor. My glasses are not strong enough to see for sure. That is the only thing i see that might give the date.

Thanks for the quick reply. They are AC Delco. I tried to check them without opening them in case they were old. I had to open all of them but they are all less than two years old. Thanks again.

On the backside of the sensor you should see a little clock molded in. The pointer on the clock points to the month. i.e., 8 = August. On the left and right side of the pointer you should see a number - that is the year.
