Number 9 is the check digit, which is used to detect invalid VINs.Numbers 4 through 8 describe the car with such information as the model, body type, restraint system, transmission type and engine code.The next six digits to check (positions 4-9) are the vehicle descriptor section. This Wikipedia page has a list of WMI codes. The third digit, when combined with the first two letters or numbers, indicates the vehicle’s type or manufacturing division.It may sound confusing, but the next digit ties it all together. But that “A” can also stand for Jaguar or Mitsubishi, and an “R” can also mean Audi. For example, A is for Audi, B is for BMW, G is for General Motors, L is for Lincoln, and N is for Nissan.
In some cases, it’s the letter that begins the manufacturer’s name.
Japan is J, South Korea is K, England is S, Germany is W, and Sweden or Finland is Y. In this group, the first digit or letter identifies the country of origin.The first group of three numbers and letters in a VIN make up the world manufacturer identifier (WMI).
