Back in April I posted the patched Honda ESM as a 274 MB zip. It's now a website:
Same official Honda factory workshop manuals for the Mk7 (2003–2008: CL7, CL9, CM1, CM2, CN1, CN2) and Mk8 (2009–2010: CU1, CU2, CU3, CW1, CW2, CW3), Shop Manual and Body Repair for both, but nothing to download or unzip. Open the link on your phone in the garage, pick your year and model code (it's on the V5 next to "Type"), and search. Works in any browser on any device.
What's new since the zip (V2):
- Search looks inside every page, not just the ***les, and autocompletes from the manual's own vocabulary. British spellings are translated for you (tyre, bonnet, windscreen) and typos get a "did you mean".
- Type a fault code (P0301, P0420, etc.) into the search box and it tells you what the code means and finds every page on your model that covers it.
- Split View: procedure on the left, wiring diagram on the right.
- Job Cards: a workspace per car with reg, mileage, a tick-list of the procedures you've attached, and notes. Page Notes let you stick your own notes on any procedure and they're there next time you open it.
- Common Jobs page: Honda's own procedures for oil, brakes, filters, plugs, bulbs, jacking points and so on, in one list.
- Unit converter (Nm/lb·ft, mm/inches, bar/psi), a click-for-definition glossary of Honda acronyms inside the pages, text size controls, and seven themes including dark ones for the garage.
- A guided tour on first visit, "continue where you left off", and Backup/Restore so your notes and job cards can move to another device.
pokeyoke asked about the ETM back in May: the wiring diagrams and the DTC troubleshooting procedures are in there for both generations under the electrical sections. Split View was built for exactly that.
A few honest notes:
- It's a website, so it needs a connection. If you want it offline on a laptop or USB stick, the zip in the original thread is still the same manual: https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/thre...ficial-factory-workshop-manual-patched.27606/
- Your notes, bookmarks and job cards are saved in your own browser only. No accounts, nothing uploaded. Use Export in the sidebar to move them.
- The site counts anonymous usage (which pages and searches get used, and any errors) so I can fix the weak spots. Nothing you type is sent, and there's an off switch at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Honda's content is unchanged. Every procedure, spec and diagram is as Honda published it; only the interface is new.
If something doesn't work on your phone or browser, reply here with what you were doing and which model you had selected and I'll sort it.
