Body Code Plate

BODY CODE PLATE

A metal body code plate (Fig. 2) is riveted to the dash panel in the engine compartment behind the battery. There can be a maximum of seven rows of information on the plate. The information should be read from left to right. Start with line 1 at the bottom of the plate up to line 7 at the top of the code plate.






Refer to the decoding chart to decode lines 1 through 3.

Lines 4 through 7 on the plate are imprinted in sequence according to the following descriptions:
^ 3-character sales code.
^ 3-digit numerical code.
^ 6-digit SEC code.

If there is not enough space left in the row for all of the 6-digit SEC code:
^ The unused space will remain blank.
^ The code will be listed in the next row.
The last nine positions of row 7 will contain a 2-digit code and a 6- digit serial number.

The last code on a vehicle code plate will be followed by the imprinted word END. When two plates are required, the last available spaces on the first plate will be imprinted with the letters CTD (for continued).

When a second vehicle code plate is necessary, the first four spaces on each row will not be used because of the plate overlap.

To view a vehicle code plate:
^ Open the hood.
^ Remove the battery.
^ Read the coded information.
