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 2021 Honda Ridgeline factory service and repair manual is built around the 3.5L V6 (J35Y6) and this trim lineup specifically, so the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic trees you pull up match what Honda actually published for your truck, not a generic Ridgeline blend.

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 2021 Ridgeline. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. The rear center seat belt's automatic locking retractor can deactivate improperly, leaving a child restraint system unsecured. The heating pads behind both side-view mirrors may not bond correctly, letting the mirror glass detach and reduce driver visibility. A tie rod fastener connecting the brake booster to the brake master cylinder may have been improperly assembled, which can let the master cylinder separate and cause a loss of brake function. The front passenger seat weight sensor can crack and short circuit, failing to suppress the air bag as intended, or in a later filing causing the air bags to deploy unintentionally during a crash. The rearview camera's tailgate wire harness may fatigue and break, cutting out the backup camera image. The rear subframe can corrode at the suspension mounting points, risking rear suspension component failure and a loss of vehicle handling. Owners have filed 100 complaints for the year; no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a rear subframe inspection to chasing a dead backup camera or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 Ridgeline.
