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 2020 Honda Ridgeline factory service and repair manual is built around the 3.5L V6 (J35Y6) and the specific trim on your build sheet, so the torque values and procedures inside are the ones Honda actually published for this truck rather than a generic Ridgeline reference.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door crew cab pickup

Trims covered

  • Black Edition
  • EX-L
  • RTL
  • RTL-E
  • Sport
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2020 Ridgeline. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. The Honda Genuine Accessory tonneau cover can flip and buckle in wind, deforming its hinges until the rear panel separates and becomes a road hazard. The hood latch striker can crack and separate, letting the hood open while driving and obstruct the driver's view. The bonding behind the side-view mirror heating pads can fail, allowing the mirror glass to detach and reduce visibility. A tie rod fastener connecting the brake booster to the master cylinder can be improperly assembled, letting the master cylinder separate and cause a loss of brake function. The in-tank fuel pump can fail outright and stall the engine while driving. Two separate recalls cover the front passenger seat weight sensor, which can crack and short-circuit and cause the air bag to deploy unintentionally in a crash. The rearview camera's tailgate wire harness can fatigue and break, killing the backup camera image. And on Ridgeline trucks sold in a specific list of states, the rear subframe can corrode at the suspension mounting points until a rear suspension component fails. Owners have filed 167 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.

Whether it's a rear subframe inspection, a brake booster check, or tracing a dead backup camera, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 Ridgeline.
