Scheme 22: Powertrain Calibration Information
Scheme 22: 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. (Scheme 23)below. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1999 and is carried into the current model year, Protocol 2 will be used. (Scheme 24)below. For electronic calibration strategies introduced in 2000 or later model years, use Protocol 3. (Scheme 25)below.

UNIQUE CALIBRATION

The Emission/CAFE/CO2 Compliance Department is responsible for assigning calibration numbers. Unique calibration identifications are assigned to cover similar vehicles to differentiate tires, drive configurations, final drive ratios and other significant certification 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 and 4 to denote a four-valve engine, provides an easily identifiable difference.
