In addition, a label with the "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to the intake manifold.

The engine code is also included on the vehicle data label.

Vehicles with Four Digit Engine Codes

Four digit engine codes beginning with the letter "C" are used. The first three digits describe the mechanical structure of the engine and are still stamped on the engine, as before. The fourth digit describes the engine output and torque and depends on the Engine Control Module (ECM). The four digit engine code is on the type plate, the vehicle data label and the ECM.

NOTE:

For the vehicle data label location, refer to Maintenance Procedures, Rep. Gr. 03, General Information.
