DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

VEHICLE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABEL

DESCRIPTION

A vehicle safety certification label is attached to

the left side of B-pillar or on the rearward facing of

the front door (Fig. 1). This label indicates date of

manufacture (month and year), Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

front, Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) rear and

the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The Month,

Day and Hour of manufacture is also included.

All communications or inquiries regarding the

vehicle should include the Month-Day-Hour and

Vehicle Identification Number.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

DESCRIPTION

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located

on the upper left corner of the upper plenum, near

the left windshield pillar (Fig. 2). The VIN consists of

17 characters in a combination of letters and num-

bers that provide specific information about the vehi-

cle. Refer to VIN Code Breakdown table for decoding

information.

VIN CHECK DIGIT

DESCRIPTION

To protect the consumer from theft and possible

fraud the manufacturer is required to include a

Check Digit at the ninth position of the Vehicle Iden-

tification Number. The check digit is used by the

manufacturer and government agencies to verify the

authenticity of the vehicle and official documenta-

tion. The formula to use the check digit is not

released to the general public.

BODY CODE PLATE

LOCATION AND DECODING

DESCRIPTION

The Body Code Plate (Fig. 3) is located in the

engine compartment on the battery tray front side

(Fig. 4). There are seven lines of information on the

body code plate. Lines 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not used to

define service information. Information reads from

left to right, starting with line 3 in the center of the

plate to line 1 at the bottom of the plate.

IF TWO BODY CODE PLATES ARE REQUIRED

The last code shown on either plate will be fol-

lowed by END. When two plates are required, the

last code space on the first plate will indicate (CTD)

When a second plate is required, the first four

spaces of each line will not be used due to overlap of

the plates.

INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS

DESCRIPTION

The graphic symbols illustrated in the following

International Control and Display Symbols Chart are

used to identify various instrument controls. The

symbols correspond to the controls and displays that

are located on the instrument panel.

FASTENER IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION

GRADE/CLASS IDENTIFICATION

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 and

Fastener Strength Charts.

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.

THREADED HOLE REPAIR

DESCRIPTION

Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using

a Helicoil t. Follow the manufacture recommendation

for application and repair procedures.

METRIC SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

The metric system is based on quantities of one,

ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.

The following chart will assist in converting metric

units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise

versa.

CONVERSION FORMULAS AND EQUIVALENT VALUES

MULTIPLY BY TO GET MULTIPLY BY TO GET

in-lbs x 0.11298 = Newton Meters (N·m) N·m x 8.851 = in-lbs

1 Mile = 1.6 Kilometers

Refer to the Metric Conversion Chart to convert

torque values listed in metric Newton- meters (N·m).

Also, use the chart to convert between millimeters

(mm) and inches (in.)

TORQUE REFERENCES
