Base Engine Calibration Information

Base engine calibration information, sometimes referred to as the powertrain calibration, is located in the lower right corner of the vehicle certification label. Engine calibration information is limited to a maximum of 5 characters per line (2 lines maximum). Calibration information more than 5 characters long wraps to the second line of this field. Only the base calibration appears on this label. The revision level is no longer printed on the label. However, it can be found in the On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS). For additional information on the vehicle certification label or engine calibration, refer to the Workshop Manual Section 100-01, Identification Codes.
