QUERY ABOUT MY VIN NUMBER

[kavita]

I recently bought a 2013 Yaris and I'm trying to decode my VIN. Every decoder I use online says its invalid.

My VIN is JTDBW903301244502 (I typed it correctly, I just triple-checked). Can you guys help me? I'm interested to find out the year of manufacture, which, according to online info is the 10th digit. My 10th digit is a zero, as you can see.

Any help with the clarification of this will be appreciated, thank you!

Your Yaris is a "General" Area Yaris, so that may be why the online decoders don't work. According to the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog, your Yaris was built in February of 2013.

Thank you! Can you link the page where you found that info?

It's not something that is accessible on the web.

Kavita,

Your VIN number starts with JTD, that means that your car is manufactured in Japan. Maybe this can help more?

Thanks, yes it was Japan-made...I don't think that info is very accurate on the toyotanation thread, checked it out earlier. Thanks for your response though :)

That info on that site only applies to USDM Yaris. "General" area ones use a different encoding, which doesn't seem to get properly decoded, except through the Toyota EPC.
