VECI label
This is a photograph of the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label from a 2001 Nissan light-duty truck equipped with the 3.3 liter VG33E engine. The label states the EPA test group (1NSXT03.5C9A), confirms OBD-II certification, lists the evaporative/refueling family (1NSXR0120RCA), and identifies the exhaust emission control equipment as dual three-way catalysts (2TWC(2)), dual heated oxygen sensors (2HO2S(2)), and sequential fuel injection (SFI). Engine tune-up specifications are provided in a table: idle speed, high idle speed, idle mixture setting, and valve lash all require no adjustments, while ignition timing is specified at 10° BTDC. Conditions for checking timing include normal operating temperature, all accessories off, steering wheel straight ahead, and radiator cooling fan not operating. The compliance statement confirms the vehicle conforms to U.S. EPA NLEV and California LEV regulations for 2001 model year gasoline-fueled light-duty trucks (emission category V1/LEV). The label carries Nissan Motor Co., Ltd branding, engine code VG33E, label code 9Z410, the word CATALYST, and a barcode reading 3320GFFE.
