Default TPMS date code?

I bought a TPMS module # 25773946 AC Delco online after asking the date of manufacture. Vendor said it was made in 2017. There’s a number on the package LC27-077, 18231-1150 and two bar code stickers on the unit.:
48667290011373 and SEL05311949. Is there any way to figure a date of manufacture out of these?

a little circle with an arrow inside the circle pointing to the date is stamped on the plastic tpms housing...that date is when the plastic housing was produced...the battery itself has a different date but probably close to the plastic date code...hope this helps

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.

Thanks so much guys. The arrow points to 11 and a 1-7 is on each side of the arrow. Nov. 2017 just as I was told before ordering. I appreciate your help. Dave

Hmmm, I just checked mine today after seeing this thread and they all show 1997 lol. By coincidence I have my wheels and tires broken down for powder coating. They all still work at this time. Who knows for how much longer though.

I've been thinking about trying the ITM brand instead of the Schraders.
