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

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

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 2012 Honda Accord factory service and repair manual is built around this exact year, engine and trim, whether your car carries the 2.4L four-cylinder (K24Z3 or K24Z2) or the 3.5L V6 (J35Z2 or J35Z3), so the torque values and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Honda published for your car, not an approximation pulled from a different model year.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.4L inline-four (144 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door coupe
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • EX
  • EX-L
  • HFP
  • LX
  • LX-P
  • LX-S

Known issues on the 2012 Accord. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Most concern the passenger frontal air bag inflator module: several cover units that can rupture or explode, sending sharp metal fragments toward vehicle occupants and risking serious injury or death, while others cover replacement inflators that were installed incorrectly and can deploy improperly or fail to deploy properly in a crash, raising the risk of injury. A separate recall covers the side curtain air bag, where an inflator built outside of spec on this model year can fail to deploy in a crash, also raising the risk of injury. Owners have filed 380 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From an air bag inflator inspection to routine service work on the 2.4L or 3.5L engine, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 Accord.
