How this catalogue works
This is the manufacturer's own parts data — the same records a dealer's parts terminal reads — presented for people rather than for a 1990s Windows client.
Four markets, four datasets
The catalogue is not one global database. It is four independent datasets — Europe, General, United States, Japan — each with its own models, part numbers and supersessions. A number that exists in one may be absent from another, and the same catalogue code means different cars in different markets. The selector at the top of every page controls which one you are reading.
| Market | Catalogues |
|---|---|
| Europe | 291 |
| General | 456 |
| United States | 274 |
| Japan | 408 |
How a part is identified
Every part hangs off a part group — a six-character number the factory calls a PNC, the same across every Toyota. “Front brake disc” is one PNC worldwide. Which actual part number that PNC resolves to depends on the vehicle, the build period and a set of fitment codes: engine, transmission, body style, market. That is why picking the vehicle first matters, and why one part group can list a dozen numbers.
The drawings
The illustrations are the factory's own exploded views, stored as 1-bit fax-format images that no browser can display; they are converted on first view and cached afterwards. The numbered callouts are clickable and filter the parts list beside them. About one callout in five is drawn dashed — those are standard fasteners the factory illustrates but never lists as separate parts, so there is genuinely nothing behind them.
What is deliberately missing
- Quantities. The catalogue records which parts a vehicle takes, never how many. In the original software the quantity column was an input field the counter staff typed into when raising an order — it was never part of the data. Showing an invented figure would be worse than showing none.
- Prices outside Japan. Three price files exist in the format — list, trade and cost — and this dataset ships only the Japanese list price, with no effective date and no history.
- Stock and delivery. Nothing of the sort is in the data, which is why the site ends in an enquiry rather than a checkout.
- Notes tied to a specific drawing. The illustration notes are listed per catalogue: no key in the source data ties one reliably to a single figure, and attaching them anyway would mislabel about one note in eighty.
Fields marked †
A handful of columns are read straight from the record layout but are confirmed by no published legend — destination codes, catalogue page references and a few flags. They are shown with a dagger rather than hidden, so you can see the raw value and judge it yourself.
