Powertrain Calibration Information
Powertrain calibration information is printed in the lower right corner of the vehicle certification (VC) label. Only 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 was introduced in 1998 and carried into the current model year, Protocol 1 will be used. Refer PROTOCOL 1 . If the electronic calibration strategy was introduced in 1999 and carried into the current model year, Protocol 2 will be used. Refer to PROTOCOL 2 . For electronic calibration strategy introduced in 2000 and beyond, Protocol 3 will be used. Refer to PROTOCOL 3 .
