VECI LABEL
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a combined VECI
label. This label is located in the engine compart-
ment (Fig. 3).
The VECI label contains the following:
• Engine family and displacement
• Evaporative family
• Emission control system schematic
• Certification application
• Engine timing specifications (if adjustable)
• Idle speeds (if adjustable)

The label also contains an engine vacuum sche-

BODY CODE PLATE
DESCRIPTION
LOCATION AND DECODING
A metal body code plate is attached to the floor pan
under the passenger seat. Remove the passenger
seat, door sill scuff plate and pull back the carpet to
access the body code plate. There are seven lines of
information on the body code plate. Lines 5, 6, and 7
are not used to define service information. Informa-
tion reads from left to right, starting with line 4 in
the center of the plate to line 1 at the bottom of the
plate (Fig. 4).
The last code imprinted on a vehicle code plate will
be followed by the imprinted word END. When two
vehicle code plates are required, the last available
spaces on the first plate will be imprinted with the
letters CTD (for continued).
When a second vehicle code plate is necessary, the
first four spaces on each row will not be used because
of the plate overlap.

FASTENER IDENTIFICATION
GRADE/CLASS IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2
to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater
the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the
line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual
bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line
marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt
strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric
strength class identification number is imprinted on
the head of the bolt. The higher the class number,
the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are
imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the
nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification (Fig. 7)
and Fastener Strength Charts (Fig. 8).
FASTENER USAGE
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER
MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PER-
SONAL INJURY.
Figure art, specifications and tightening torque ref-
erences in this manual are identified in metric and
SAE format.
During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is
important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.)
for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a
fastener of equivalent specification must be use.
DESCRIPTION
Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using
a Helicoil
t. Follow the manufacture recommendation
for application and repair procedures.
