NAGOYA, Japan -- Toyota Motor announced Tuesday night that it will gradually resume operations at all of its 14 factories in Japan starting Wednesday, with 12 factories operating normally from the morning and the remaining two plants starting in the afternoon.

Japan's largest automaker was forced to halt operations at 12 of its factories Tuesday morning due to a system failure that prevented the processing of parts orders. The shutdown was eventually extended to all 14 factories.
