TMC vs TMMK, what is that?

[Silver99camry]

I am looking at the service manual and it shows 2 different pictures for window motor, one says "TMC made" another "TMMK made" . What is the difference here, just the manufacture?

Thanks

TMMK = Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky - Made is USA

TMC = Toyota Motor Corp - Made in Japan

^ What sbushnak said. If you don't know where your Camry was manufactured look, at the beginning of the VIN. It's located in front of the driver's side window at the base of the dash. Just look there from outside the car and you will see it. It should also be on a plate or sticker inside the driver's door at the rear of the door jam. Cars made in Japan start with the letter J. Cars made in the US at the Kentucky plant start with 4T. If you are getting the replacement motor from an auto parts store they will probably ask for your VIN to make sure you get the correct part.

Some parts had variations of shape (eg connectors) and fasteners used during assembly. so some replacement parts are not interchangable

Thanks. It's funny, but when I called dealer and asked for a power motor quote they did not ask about the VIN. Both parts must be similar I guess.
