Frequently Asked Questions
Which chassis codes and trim levels does this manual cover?
The manual covers both DE2A and DE3A chassis codes, encompassing all facelift FTO trim levels: GR, GS, GX, GPX, GX Sports Package, GX Sports Package Aero Series, and the high-performance GP Version R with MIVEC. Both left- and right-hand-drive configurations are documented throughout.
Does the 6A12 MIVEC engine get the same depth of coverage as the standard V6?
Yes. The MIVEC-specific variable valve timing system — including oil control solenoids, actuator assemblies, and ECU calibration data — receives dedicated sections alongside standard 6A12 procedures. The 1.8L 4G93 four-cylinder is equally well documented.
Are wiring diagrams included for the INVECS-II transmission electronics?
Full electrical coverage is included: INVECS-II shift control circuits, MIVEC ECU wiring, ABS module harness diagrams, climate control schematics, and lighting circuits are all present with connector pin assignments and color-coded wire identification.
What format is the manual?
The manual is delivered as a fully searchable PDF file. It opens on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices without additional software, and individual pages can be printed directly for workshop use.
