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. 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. For new electronic calibration strategies for the current model year, use protocol 3. Refer to Protocol 3 below. Protocol 1 14.10. 2012 file:///C:/Ford/2000-2004/tsocache/SHEF_3852/SYJ~us~en~...

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Jacking WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut down prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. WARNING: Do not run the engine when jacking the vehicle. The wheels contacting the ground could cause the vehicle to move. WARNING: Support the vehicle prior to performing any procedure requiring the vehicle to be jacked off the ground. WARNING: Make sure the jack and jack stands are properly located to prevent the vehicle from falling. WARNING: Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack. CAUTION: Never use a halfshaft as a lifting point. Jacking Points — Front, 4x4 The jacking point is a raised boss located on the front suspension lower arm (3079).
