VIN Decoder Resource

I think this is useful. Thanks

 

Try this example VIN-decomposition description:

J = (WMI), World Source: J = Japan
T = (WMI), Manufacturer: T = Toyota
D = (WMI), Vehicle Type: D = Passenger Vehicle
K = (VDS), Body Type/Drive Type: K = 4Dr HB 2WD
N = (VDS), Engine Family: N = 1.8L (2ZR-FXE) Atkinson
3 = (VDS), Series: 3 = Chassis Code ZWV30
D = (VDS), Restraint System/Grade: D = Manual Belts w/2 Airbags, Side Airbags, Three-Row Curtain Shield Airbags, and Knee Airbag
U = (VDS), Car Line: U = Prius
3 = (CkD), Check Digit(computer generated)
E = (VIS), Model Year: E = 2014 (F = 2015, G = 2016, etc.)
1 = (VIS), Plant Code: 0 = Tsutsumi plant, line#1; 1 = Tsutsumi plant, line#2; 5 = Fugimatsu plant
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX (most significant digit)
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX
X = (VIS), Serial Number: XXXXXX (least significant digit)

• Where:
WMI = World Manufacturer Identifier
VDS = Vehicle Description Section
CkD = Check Digit (Internal use only. Used by Toyota and FBI computers to verify the VIN)
VIS = Vehicle Indicator Section

• also: Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Toyota/VIN Codes - Wikibooks, open books for an open world

 

It doesn't work. It just spins forever after typing in any VIN.

 

For decoding VINs on vehicles sold in the United States, I suggest instead:

• Toyota’s Vehicle Information Lookup page, which works only for Toyota products and also retrieves information not encoded in the VIN, such as installed options and date of first use

• NHTSA VIN Decoder, which uses information in the official NHTSA Product Information Catalog and Vehicle Listing (vPIC) system, compiled from automakers’ required reports to the government

 

Info is wrong. Says my car is black When it was born silver.
Zero info about service history. Incorrect number of previous owners.

 

CARFAX Car Care App shows all toyota dealer work and also third party work.

Good way to source extra info!
