Retrieved from 'https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Vehicle_Identification_Numbers_(VIN_codes)/Honda/VIN_Codes&oldid=3774715'

VIN is the abbreviation of vehicle identification number. Automakers use it as a simple and reliable method of classification and accounting. Every vehicle has a unique VIN code.

VIN code as the concept appeared relatively recently in 1975. It was adopted by a number of international regulations designed to streamline and unify the system of marking and identification of vehicles. So today the VIN of most vehicles are subjects to a single structure.

To understand what is needed and what information is encoded in the VIN code, we can use a Honda VIN decoder to find out all the information about the vehicle. The VIN code can be located in 2 places:

Honda Serial Number Chart

  • on the dashboard on the driver side where the windshield comes in contact with the hood;
  • on the sticker on non-removable parts.
Serial

The main sticker is usually located on the driver's door. In addition to the VIN code, the sticker contains a month and a year of manufacture, country of manufacture, a bar code with full information about the car and other information depending on the model.

According to the standards, the VIN codes on Honda cars consist of seventeen characters such as digit alphanumeric code with three mandatory groups of characters. A Honda VIN number decoder shows what each of the characters means.

First three characters (WMI) represent the country and manufacturer. The next six characters (VDI) indicate the type of the car, design, body type, engine, transmission. The last eight characters (VIS) identify a specific instance of the car, year and place of issue, serial number. The VIN decoder Honda spends seconds on decoding the VIN number.

Honda Serial Number Decoder

Let's take 3 characters from the beginning of the VIN code. WMI stands for world manufacturer identification. The combination of 3 characters allows to identify the country and the division of the manufacturer. The Honda small engine serial number decoder provides the following information:

  • country of origin;
  • manufacturer;
  • the geographical area of the place of production.

Now let's takes signs from 4 to 9. VDI stands for vehicle description section. The second group of six characters describes the properties of the car. The signs, the sequence and meaning are defined by the manufacturer. The Honda engine serial number decoder gives the following:

  • 4, 5, 6 - body/ chassis of the car;
  • 7 - body and transmission type;
  • 8 - equipment / modification of the car;
  • 9 - a check digit that determines the accuracy of the VIN code.

And finally let's consider the last 8 digits. VIS stands for vehicle identification section. The third group is the VIN of the eight characters, the last four characters of the group must be numbers. The Honda serial number decoder provides you with the following:

  • 10 - the year of the car;
  • 11 - assembly plant;
  • 12-17 - serial number of the car.
