VIN Check Digit Validation (Position 9)

formatcritical

Validates the VIN check digit at position 9 using the NHTSA mod-11 algorithm. Each character is transliterated to a numeric value, multiplied by a positional weight, summed, and divided by 11. The remainder must equal the check digit (0-9 or X for remainder 10). This catches transcription errors and detects counterfeit VINs.
