The 10th digit of the VIN represents the vehicle's production year, with different numbers and letters indicating different years in a 30-year cycle. The production year codes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y - totaling 30 characters. For example, 1991 is coded as M, and so on. The meanings of the 17-digit VIN are as follows: 1. Positions 1-3: World Manufacturer Identifier. 2. Positions 4-8: Vehicle attributes, defined by the manufacturer (refer to the manual for details). 3. Position 9: Check digit, represented by a letter or number as determined by the manufacturer. 4. Position 10: Production year code, represented by a letter or number (international standard). 5. Position 11: Assembly plant and location code, represented by a letter as determined by the manufacturer. 6. Positions 12-17: Production sequence number, assigned by the manufacturer.
