Reading the Denso number
Denso numbers consist of six digits, a hyphen and four digits, for example 104210-3522. The first block describes product group and series, the second the variant. The type plate often also carries the vehicle manufacturer's OE number (Toyota 27060-…, Honda 31100-…). Both numbers help with identification.
