Garnet & Gold Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Does anyone know if there is any rhyme or reason to the assignment of the check digit in the VIN? We know it is the ninth character of the VIN and that it can be 0 - 9 or X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger914 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know if there is any rhyme or reason to the assignment of the check digit in the VIN? We know it is the ninth character of the VIN and that it can be 0 - 9 or X.The rhyme for the numbers is the mathematical formula used and since I haven't had to figure a check digit by hand in over 30 years, I'm not even going to try to explain how to figure and check a check digit. The reason is easy, it's required by law. Edited April 30, 2015 by Digger914 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
