2006 Honda Ridgeline Service and Repair Manual
This 2006 Honda Ridgeline factory service and repair manual is built around this exact model year, its 3.5L V6 (J35A9) engine, and each cab trim, so every torque value, wiring diagram and diagnostic step traces back to what Honda actually published for this truck rather than a generic Ridgeline-era approximation.

Known issues on the 2006 Ridgeline. Fourteen recalls are on federal record for this model year, and eight of them trace back to Takata-supplied driver and passenger frontal air bag inflators that can degrade with age and humidity exposure and rupture on deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin. Beyond the air bag campaigns, Honda also recalled the truck for an accelerator pedal that can bind and delay the engine's return to idle, increasing crash risk; a fuel pump relay coil wire that can break and cut power to the pump, causing the engine to stall without warning; a wiring harness connector for the HVAC blower motor under the dash that can overheat, melt and short-circuit if kicked, posing a fire risk; frame corrosion from road salt that can loosen the fuel tank mounting bands and cause a fuel leak near an ignition source; an aftermarket hitch bike rack pinch bolt that can pinch, lacerate or amputate fingers; and an owner's manual printed with an outdated NHTSA safety hotline number. Owners have filed 241 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.
From an air bag inflator inspection to a fuel tank mount check or a frame corrosion inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 Ridgeline.
