EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROLS
Federal law prohibits the removal or rendering inoperative by
any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or
replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated
into such vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its
sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use.
Federal Law also prohibits the use of such vehicle after such
device or element of design has been removed or rendered
inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the
acts listed below:
• Removal of fender apron absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields, or acoustical absorptive material.
• Removal of or rendering inoperative the engine speed
governor so as to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer’s
specifications.
• Removal or modification of air duct, air intake choke or
silencer, air cleaner, or air cleaner element.
• Removal of, or rendering inoperative, exhaust system
components including the catalyst inlet pipe, muffler, outlet
pipe, resonator, or diffuser.
• Removal of the fan shroud. Removal of or rendering
inoperative the fan clutch.
New vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada must comply
with applicable provisions of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 1106, Noise.
Additional noise emissions information is contained in the Ford
Truck Body Builders Layout Book.
WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
A copy of the appropriate Ford Truck Owners Guide and
Warranty Facts Booklet must be installed in every vehicle prior
to sale to the ultimate purchaser in order to provide emission
systems warranty information and maintenance schedules. It
also provides, where required by EPA noise control regulations
for vehicles having GVWR over 4536 kg [10,000 lb], noise
emissions warranty information, instructions for maintenance,
use, and repair of vehicle noise emission control systems, a
maintenance record format, and list of prohibited tampering
acts.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
All 2006 Federal light and heavy duty trucks and all California
vehicles with gasoline engines are required to comply
with evaporative emissions requirements established by
the Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air
Resources Board. Production fuel systems supplied on
incomplete 2006 model year trucks manufactured by Ford
Motor Company comply with these requirements. If the
subsequent stage manufacturer adds to or modifies the
fuel system in any manner, it becomes the responsibility
of the modifier to assure compliance with the applicable
regulations. Refer to the Design Recommendation section of
the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book, for additional Fuel
System Evaporative Emissions information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
The “Malfunction Indicator Light” is used to indicate malfunctions
of the Electronic Engine Control System and certain emissions-
related components. For all incomplete vehicles, except Basic
(Stripped) Chassis (which is not equipped with an instrument
panel), it is Ford installed and operational.
POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT
A wire located under the instrument panel labeled “Power Take-
Off Circuit” is provided to minimize the inadvertent illumination
of the “Service Engine Soon” while the PTO is engaged. Refer
to the Design Recommendation section of the Ford Truck
Body Builders Layout Book, for Power Take-off Installations
information that will locate the Ford provided circuit. Connect
the wire to the Power Take-Off Circuit as instructed and isolate
the wire labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” from the solenoid to
prevent damage to the Power Control Module (PCM).
OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE (ODS)
The Clean Air Act of 1990, Section 611 requires any product
(i.e., completed vehicle) containing or manufactured with any
Class I Ozone Depleting Substance on, or after May 15,1993
must be identified with a “clearly and conspicuously attached
label.”
Ford Motor Company has eliminated Class I ODS from its
manufacturing processes. All 2006 Ford Truck incomplete
vehicles will not have Class I ODS content.
Manufacturers, including subsequent stage manufacturers, are
required to label their products if the product, including any
component (whether manufactured by that manufacturer or
not), contains a Class I ODS or if the manufacturer used a Class
I ODS in the manufacturing of the product. In the case where
Ford Motor Company provides a label saying the incomplete
vehicle contains a Class I ODS that information must be placed
on the product warning label. (See EPA regulation on wording,
placement, size, and combining labels.) In Canada consult the
appropriate Provincial or Territorial Ministry of Environment.
EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABEL
To meet United States Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, the Important Vehicle Information (tune-up and
fuel tank capacity) labels must be affixed in a location that is
readily visible after installation and in such a manner that it
cannot be removed without destroying or defacing the label.
The label shall not be affixed to any equipment that is easily
detached from the vehicle.
When emission control labels are supplied but not attached
to the vehicle (i.e., tune-up label or fuel tank label), they must
be permanently mounted in a readily visible location to meet
the preceding requirements. In addition, whether the label is
already affixed or to be affixed, no components shall be installed
which visibly obscure the label in any way that fails to satisfy
the visibility requirements described in the California Emission
Control Label Specifications. For Canadian requirements
consult Section 1100 8 (1) (d) (i), (ii), & (iii), as applicable.
CALIFORNIA FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY
California regulations require that the vehicle fuel systems be
designed to accommodate a vapor recovery fueling nozzle
including unobstructed access to the fill pipe. Fuel filler pipes
installed per the figures on pages 22 and 23 will comply with
the “Specifications For Fill Pipes and Openings of Motor Vehicle
Fuel Tanks” referenced in Title 13 California Administrative
Code provided no part of the aftermarket body, as installed,
intrudes within a 254mm [10 in] radius cylinder which has its
axis parallel to the ground at point “Z” (Figure A on page 22
illustrates a typical point Z). The cylindrical zone uses the axis
described above, starts at the outer most surface of the Ford
supplied fuel filler housing, and projects outward (away from
the frame). The fuel pipe housing component is shown on the
referenced figures and is attached to the aftermarket body via
3/16 inch diameter rivets.
