1996 Ford Bronco 5.0L Emission & Vacuum Hose Routing Decal (F6AE-9C485, PAJ)
Ford underhood vehicle information label showing a vacuum hose routing schematic alongside engine control notes.
This is a photograph of the factory Vehicle Emission Control Information / Important Vehicle Information decal affixed to the radiator support of a Ford truck. The label, printed in English and French (Ford Motor Company header with 'Renseignements Importants sur le Véhicule'), states the vehicle is equipped with electronic engine control systems and that engine idle speed, idle mixture, and ignition timing are not adjustable, referring the reader to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual. It specifies SAE 5W-30 American Petroleum Institute certified oil for gasoline engines. The bottom data strip lists label/part number F6AE-9C485 (suffix unreadable), calibration code PAJ, engine displacement 5.0L, a partially legible spark plug number (A_SF-32_), and a spark plug gap of .042–.046 in. The right portion contains the vacuum hose routing schematic (Schéma de Dépression) with small callouts including a carbon canister and 'Front of Vehicle,' though most diagram labels are too small to read. A yellow aftermarket 'ATTENTION' sticker is applied over part of the label, warning in English and French that the vehicle has a remote control engine starter and the under-dash switch must be turned OFF before under-hood servicing.
