2019 Honda Pilot Service and Repair Manual

This 2019 Honda Pilot factory service and repair manual is built around the exact year, engine and trim of your SUV, so the specifications and torque sequences inside are the ones Honda published for the Pilot's 3.5L V6 (J35Y6), not a close-enough figure borrowed from another model year.

Known issues on the 2019 Pilot. Thirteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three involve the instrument panel software, central network software, and a faulty MOST cable connector, any of which can delay or block the rearview camera image and reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. Two cover the low-pressure fuel pump inside the tank, which can fail and stall the engine while driving. The hood latch striker can separate and let the hood open while driving, obstructing the driver's view. Tires cured too long during production can develop a sidewall break or belt separation, causing a loss of vehicle control. Incomplete welding of the front frame's upper members can leave the body less able to protect occupants in a crash, and a timing belt whose teeth separate can stall the engine outright. A center pillar trim clip with oversized mounting holes can interfere with the right-side curtain air bag during deployment, a cracked front passenger seat weight sensor can short and trigger unintended air bag deployment, a manufacturing defect in the connecting rod bearing can wear, seize, and damage the engine, and corrosion at the rear subframe's suspension mounting points can cause rear suspension failure and loss of handling. Owners have filed 886 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a rearview-camera fault or a stalling fuel pump to inspecting the rear subframe for corrosion, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 Pilot.
