While programming an Engine Control Module (ECM) on some 4-cylinder engines, the Service Programming System (SPS) may prompt for an engine identification number. (Fig. 15) The engine ID number is used to track engine calibrations.<\/p>\n

The engine ID number is found on the engine tag, which is typically located on the front timing cover or the side of the engine block near the oil pan. For engine tag location on a specific vehicle, check the appropriate Service Information under General Information > General Information > Introduction > Vehicle, Engine and Transmission ID and VIN Location, Derivative and Usage. (Fig. 16)<\/p>\n

The engine ID is circled in the following photo. (Fig. 17) When entering the ID from the tag, do not enter any spaces if they exist in the identification number.<\/p>\n
