2026 Honda Odyssey Service and Repair Manual

The 2026 Odyssey narrows to four grades, EX-L, Sport-L, Touring and Elite, after the Black Edition left the lineup. Each minivan uses the 280-hp 3.5L V6 with direct injection and Variable Cylinder Management, driving the front wheels through a 10-speed automatic. VCM, the 10-speed's software and the power sliding doors all carry year-specific service details, which is why working from the right model year matters. This factory service and repair manual is matched to the 2026 Odyssey, with torque values, fluid specifications, wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures for the V6 and the systems around it.

Known issues on the 2026 Odyssey. Two recalls are on federal record: Vantage Mobility wheelchair restraint retractors (QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max) fitted to converted vans may not lock, and the front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, which can affect air bag deployment in a crash. No owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA for this model year. When replacing the seat weight sensor or diagnosing the occupant classification system, this manual gives the factory procedure and wiring diagrams.
