Powertrain Calibration Information
NOTE: Powertrain calibration information is limited to a maximum of five characters per line on the vehicle certification label. Because of this, calibration identification consisting of more than five characters will wrap to the second line on the VC label.
Powertrain calibration information is printed in the lower right corner of the vehicle certification label. Only the base calibration information is printed. Revision levels will not appear, however, they can be found in On Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS). For the current model year, Ford Motor Company is using three different protocols which describe powertrain base calibration. These protocols are designed to provide worldwide standardization for vehicle calibration. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1998 and carried into the current model year, Protocol 1 will be used. Refer to Protocol 1 below. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1999 and is carried into the current model year, Protocol 2 will be used. Refer to Protocol 2 below. For new electronic calibration strategies for the current model year, use Protocol 3. Refer to Protocol 3 below.
Protocol 1
Item Description
1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced)
2 Engine code
3 Engine revision level
Protocol 2
Item Description
1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced)
2 Engine code
3 Transmission code
4 Emission standard (designates the specific country emission standard)
5 Design level (design level assigned to the engine)
Protocol 3
Item Description
1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced)
2 Vehicle code
3 Transmission code
4 Unique calibration (designates different hardware to similar vehicles). Example: tires, drive ratios, etc.
5 Fleet code (describes fleet to which the vehicle belongs). Example: 6 – evaporative emissions
6 Certification region (lead region where multiple regions are included in one calibration). Example: A – U.S. federal
7 Revision level (will advance as revisions occur). Not printed on label
