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 is the factory service and repair manual for the 2020 Honda Odyssey, built around the 3.5L V6 (J35Y7) and the exact trim you drive, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps inside match what Honda published for this specific van rather than a generic three-row approximation.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door mini passenger van

Trims covered

  • Elite
  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • Prime
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2020 Odyssey. Fourteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Water intrusion around the rearview camera can distort or blank the backup image, and separately, faulty central network and instrument panel software can delay or prevent that same camera feed and dashboard readouts from displaying. A MOST coaxial cable fault can knock the rearview image out entirely. The outer sliding door handle cables can let water in and freeze, stopping the doors from latching securely while in motion. A pinched third-row power outlet harness can short and overheat. Braun-modified fuel tanks can overfill into the charcoal canister and leak, and a separate fuel pump inside the tank can fail and stall the engine. Front seat belt buckles can be built with a channel that blocks the release button from letting the buckle latch. Side mirror heating pads can bond poorly and let the mirror glass detach. The front passenger seat weight sensor can crack and short, either failing to suppress the air bag or triggering it unintentionally, and a software error can also fire the side and side-curtain air bags unexpectedly. Owners have filed 452 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind every one of those systems are here.

From tracing a rearview camera fault to a sliding door latch repair or a fuel pump replacement, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 Odyssey.
