Steve You do not need the VIN. There should be a FMVSS certification sticker on the drivers door. It will show month and year.

Shatzy Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the response re. the Built Date of my 2007 DTS. Later this AM I called the local Cad dealer with the same question. After asking me for the VIN #, he told me my car was built on 12/2/2008! I later found some paperwork from the dealer that stated the Built Date was 11/06! I'm on my way out to the car now to look for the FMVSS sticker on the door, as was suggested suggested. Thank you. As a note of explanation, I purchased the car used, from the dealer. I'm concerned about the age of the battery, which I suspect is original. I want to get the battery checked, and also obtain the GM specifications for the recommended battery. Thanks again. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If battery is Delco heres some info: In past a date code number hot stamped on the top of the battery. Year (0-9) Month (A-M,skipping I). 8C = 1998, March Now I fnd: The warranty date code is located on the top label of the battery. The first character is either a P or S. The next two digits determine the month, the third digit is year and the fourth digit indicates the manufacturing plant. For example, P 094N means the battery was made in September 2004 in the New Brunswick factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
