More of what faults were present as opposed to one's not set Can't say I've ever noted a date code on control cables, oem or otherwise. Ignition wires...

    FYI thunderbolt 5 is also mounted to the exhaust riser/elbow If you indeed have thunderbolt 4 then someone swapped out the module or harness and the wire is superfluous
