How do I Decode a Jeep ID

Each Jeep vehicle has a unique vehicle identification number, or VIN, that describes details such as the type of restraint system and model year. VINs consist of 17 letters and numbers and are useful if you need to order parts or get an insurance quote. You can use a decoding template to learn what each character means.

Instructions

1

The first three characters represent the World Manufacture Identification, or WMI. For Jeeps, the first character is "1" for "United States," the second is "J" for "Jeep" and the third could be a letter or number indicating the type of vehicle. This third character will vary based on the type of Jeep.

2

Character four represent the gross vehicle weight for some Jeeps and the engine type for others. Look at the Jeep Fan website to verify what applies to your specific vehicle.

3

View characters five and six to find out the car line series. For instance, character five could be "J" for Cherokee four-wheel drive and character six could be "2" for "Base."

4

Character seven represents the body style such as "7" for "two-door sport utility."

5

Check character eight to find out the engine type for newer model Jeeps or trim package type for older Jeeps. Use the Jeep Fan website as a cross reference.

6

Jeep assigns character nine as a check character to verify the authenticity of the VIN.

7

Characters 10 and 11 identify the model year and assembly plant, respectively.

8

Characters 12 through 17 represent the production sequence number.
