Base Engine Calibration Information
Base engine calibration information, also referred to as the powertrain calibration, is located in the lower right corner of the VC label. Engine calibration information is limited to a maximum of 5 characters per line (2 lines maximum). Calibration information more than 5 characters long will wrap to the second line of this field. Only the base calibration will appear on this label. The revision level is no longer printed on the label. For more information on VC label or engine calibration, refer to IDENTIFICATION CODES .

Engine Calibration Code
2005 Model Year Example
| Engine Calibration Code: 5M1 1 6E 4 5 00 | |
|---|---|
| 5 | MODEL YEAR - Model year in which calibration was first introduced. Example: 5 equals 2005. |
| M1 | VEHICLE CODE - Vehicle line description. Example: M1 equals Escape. |
| 1 | TRANSMISSION CODE - Transmission description. Example: 1 equals automatic. |
| 6E | UNIQUE CALIBRATION - Identifications are assigned to cover similar vehicle to differentiate between tires, drive configurations, final drive ratios, and other calibration significant factors. |
| 4 | FLEET CODE - Describes fleet to which the vehicle belongs. Four equals not assigned. |
| 5 | CERTIFICATION REGION - Lead region code where multiple regions are included in one calibration. Example 5 equals U.S. 50 states. |
| 00 | REVISION LEVEL - Revision level of the calibration. 00 equals Job 1 production or initial calibration. (Not printed on VC label) |
