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

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.

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.

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder is built around your exact year, engine and trim, giving you the torque values and diagnostic steps Nissan wrote for the 4.0L VQ40DE V6 or 5.6L VK56DE V8 under your hood rather than generic third-party estimates.

Engines covered

  • 5.6L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 4.0L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • LE
  • S
  • SE
  • SE Off-Road

Known issues on the 2009 Pathfinder. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers a front lower control link with a welded collar that can separate, degrading handling and raising crash risk. The second covers the front crash zone sensor, where road salt and moisture intrusion can affect front air bag deployment. The third covers a Garmin nuvi 750 navigation unit whose battery can overheat and start a fire. The fourth covers the driver's air bag cover emblem, which can crack and detach into a projectile during deployment. Owners have filed 37 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a suspension link, checking the crash zone sensor, or working through routine V6 or V8 service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Pathfinder.
