Powertrain Calibration Information: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 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. 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. Refer to PROTOCOL 1 . 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 .
