Powertrain Calibration Information: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. 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 5 characters per line on the Vehicle Certification Label. Calibration identification consisting of more than 5 characters will wrap to the second line on the VC label.
Powertrain calibration information is printed in the lower right corner of the VC label. Only the base calibration information is printed. Revision levels will not appear, however, they can be found obtained through a scan tool using the most current software revision.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced) |
