2001 Honda Passport Service and Repair Manual
This 2001 Honda Passport factory service and repair manual is built around the LX and EX trims and the 3.2L V6 (6VD1) that actually left the factory under this Passport's hood, so the torque values and diagnostic steps you're following are the ones Honda published for this configuration, not an approximation drawn from a different model year.
Engines covered
- 3.2L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sport utility
Trims covered
- EX
- LX
Known issues on the 2001 Passport. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear suspension: excessive corrosion can cause the left or right rear lower link bracket to separate from the frame, affecting vehicle handling and potentially causing a crash. The second and third both cover the frontal air bag system: on one set of vehicles the passenger inflator module was built with too much generant, so a deployment can cause the module to explode and send metal and plastic debris at occupants, while on another the passenger inflator modules shipped without a check valve pin, meaning the air bag may not inflate properly or sufficiently in a crash and raises the risk of injury to that seat's occupant. Owners have filed 146 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the rear suspension mounts, servicing the passenger air bag module, or working through a scheduled maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 Passport.
