2000 Honda Odyssey Service and Repair Manual
This 2000 Honda Odyssey factory service and repair manual is built around the 3.5L V6 (J35A1) and the trim on your build sheet, so the specifications, torque values and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Honda published for this exact van rather than a generic minivan reference.

Known issues on the 2000 Odyssey. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the driver's front air bag inflator: moisture absorption in the module can cause it to rupture on deployment or leave the cushion underinflated, risking injury or death in a crash. A third covers the front body and frame, where missing spot welds can affect occupant protection in a collision. A fourth covers the instrument panel dimmer control, which can fail and leave the driver unable to see gauges and displays at night. A fifth covers the sliding door latches, which may not catch properly and let a door open while the van is moving. The sixth covers an underhood wiring harness that can be damaged by contact with a metal pipe, blowing a fuse and cutting power to the engine, lights, wipers, or the anti-lock brakes. Owners have filed 706 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag inflator inspection to a sliding door latch adjustment or tracing the underhood wiring harness, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2000 Odyssey.
