  3. Model
  4. Advertised horsepower and rpm.

NOTE: Depending on the manufacturing plant, calibration data may also be be found on the engine dataplate.


If the engine dataplate (1) is not readable, the ESN (2) can be found on the engine block, on top of the lubricating oil cooler housing. Additional engine information can be found on the electronic control module (ECM) dataplate.

The ECM dataplate is located on the front of the ECM.

The following information is available on the ECM dataplate:

  • ECM part number (PN)
  • ECM serial number (SN)
  • ECM date code (DC)
  • Engine serial number (ESN)
  • ECM code (identifies the software in the ECM).

NOTE: The presence of an ECM dataplate depends on the manufacturing plant and the date the engine was manufactured. If an ECM dataplate was not installed by the manufacturing plant, calibration data can be found on the engine dataplate.
