1st-3rd, (corresponding 11th digit):
JT2 (0): built in Toyota City, Japan

For 1993-1995 only:
4th-7th digits:

AE04: standard trim level, 1.6L engine
AE09: DX trim level, 1.8L engine

8th digit:
V, W- wagon (only appears as AE09W and AE09V)
E, B - sedans, but unable to pinpoint exact meaning at this time.

1996-1997:
4th-7th digits:
BA02: standard, SD, CE trim level, 1.6L engine, sedan
BB02: DX trim level, 1.8L engine, sedan
EB02: DX trim level, 1.8L engine, wagon

8th digit:
E, B - again, unable to find meaning

My notes on this:
-E10 wagons were ONLY built in Japan
-E10 wagons were sold through 1996, and were the only Japan-built 1996 E10s
-all 1997 E10s were built in North America (TMMC, NUMMI)
-there were 1996 LE sedans and 1997 DX 1.6 sedans in Canada, but I have no information on these

I would like to find out what the E and B are, so anyone with an E10 please post details of your car and the VIN. As for what E and B do NOT indicate, transmission, ABS.... I've eliminated these.

My car:
