Powertrain Calibration Information:

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).

Model Year
Model year is as follows:
^ 1 - 2001 (indicates the model year calibration was introduced)

Vehicle Code
The vehicle code is as follows:
^ U7 - Sport
^ S1 - Sport Trac

Transmission Code
The transmission codes are as follows:
^ D - Automatic transmission
^ M - Manual transmission

Unique Calibration
Unique calibration is explained in the following:
The Emissions/CAFE/CO2 Compliance Department is responsible for assigning these calibration numbers. Unique calibration identifications are assigned to cover similar vehicles to differentiate tires, drive configurations, final drive ratios and other certification-significant factors.

These two characters are chosen by the analyst to provide identifiable information unique to each calibration. For example, using the number 2 to denote a two-valve engine versus using the number 4 to denote a four-valve engine provides an easily identifiable difference.
