Note. Powertrain calibration information is limited to a maximum of 5 characters per line on the vehicle certification label. Because of this, calibration identification consisting of more than 5 characters will wrap to the second line on the vehicle certification (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, this information can be found in On Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS). For the current model year, Ford Motor Company is using 3 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. Refer to Protocol 1 below. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1999 and is carried into the current model year, Protocol 2 will be used. Refer to Protocol 2 below. Electronic calibration strategies introduced in the 2000 or later model years will use Protocol 3. Refer to Protocol 3 below.

Unique Calibration - 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 2 characters are selected by the analyst to identify information unique to each calibration. For example, using the number 2 to denote a 2-valve engine versus using the number 4 to denote a 4-valve engine offers an easily identifiable difference.
