2009 Honda Ridgeline Service and Repair Manual
The 2009 Honda Ridgeline factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact year, engine and trim, so every torque value and diagnostic sequence it gives is what Honda published for this pickup, not a figure carried over from a neighboring model year. It covers the 3.5L V6 (J35Z5) that came in every 2009 Ridgeline.

Known issues on the 2009 Ridgeline. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. Seven of them cover Takata-supplied driver and passenger frontal air bag inflators, which can explode or rupture after long-term exposure to heat, humidity and time, sending metal fragments into the cabin and resulting in serious injury or death. An eighth covers accelerator pedal assemblies that can bind so the engine fails to quickly return to idle after the pedal is released, increasing the risk of a crash. The ninth covers frame corrosion from accumulated road salt that can corrode the mounting surface and detach the fuel tank's mounting bands, causing a fuel leak that increases the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 35 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 replacing an air bag inflator to inspecting the frame around the fuel tank mounts, it keeps you on Honda's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Ridgeline.
