Missing your VECI under hood emission label?


·       Missing VECI under hood emission labels may be ordered from Vehicle Dealer Part stores using Vin Number.

 

·       THE VECI LABEL CAN BE YOUR GUIDE IN CONVERTER REPLACEMENT

The Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label is extremely important when replacing the catalytic converter, completing emission inspections or when ordering emissions control parts. For a converter replacement, it’s necessary to determine the specific emissions system installed by the OE manufacturer and that can be found on the VECI label.

·       LOCATING THE LABEL

   







The VECI label is typically located on the underside of the hood, on a strut tower, a radiator support, fan shroud or the firewall.

·       DETERMINE EMISSIONS CERTIFICATION


A vehicle can be either Federal/EPA Emissions Certified or California/50 State Emissions Certified. A vehicle is a California Emissions Certified model if the VECI label references “California,” “50-State,” “CARB” or “ARB.” To ensure proper fit and determine the state-mandated aftermarket replacement converter, this is a necessary step in the application lookup process.

·       LOCATE THE ENGINE FAMILY NUMBER

 The Engine Family Number (EFN) is displayed on every VECI label. This can also be called the Engine Family Code or Group Number.
