1. Characters are transliterated
Each VIN character is converted into its numeric value using the reference transliteration table.
VIN Generator
Calculate the ninth-position check digit.
Build a 17-character VIN and calculate position 9 using the transliteration table, weighting factors and modulus 11 method defined in the reference workbook.
VIN Check Digit
Enter the VIN components.
The form follows the field order in the Excel template. Position 9 is calculated automatically and the complete VIN is then generated.
Calculation details
Ready| Position | Character | Numeric value | Weight | Product |
|---|
Calculation method
The reference Excel method, implemented online.
2. Position weights are applied
The 17 positions use the weighting sequence 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 10, 0, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
3. The modulus 11 result is assigned
The sum of the products is divided by 11. If the remainder is 10, position 9 is X; otherwise, the remainder itself is used.
