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
