The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Honda Odyssey is built around this exact year, engine and trim, so every torque value and diagnostic step traces back to what Honda actually published for the Odyssey rather than a generic minivan procedure.

Engines covered

  • 2.2L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 5-door mini passenger van

Trims covered

  • EX
  • LX

Known issues on the 1997 Odyssey. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers exterior lighting on aftermarket combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies, where decreased lighting visibility can lead to a crash. The second covers the ignition switch: electrical contacts can degrade under the switch's high current draw, and worn contacts can cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. The third covers the front lower control arm ball joints, which can prematurely wear out and, in the worst case, separate, causing vehicle deceleration, a sudden loss of power, and reduced steering controllability. Owners have filed 27 complaints for the year, with no technical service bulletins logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From an intermittent no-start to a front suspension check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on Honda's own procedure and the correct spec for your specific 1997 Odyssey.
