I have made my own versions of the Brakes, Steering and EGR system sections of the manual – they are accessible here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0ww0pter4koo3tp/AABbl4d3hm90n9mzhDoQWh2Qa?dl=0
I just tried putting my 'Brakes.pdf' in the folder in which the downloaded 'brakes.pdf is located (after removing 'brakes' from the folder).
Clicked on the 'Index.html' file and my 'Brakes' file was linked-to just as the old was. Mine is a scan of the manual, page by page, without the headers or the out-of sync drawings etc. Have a look?

Best regards, Tony

I just uploaded my Insight docs to my Datsun website.

Enjoy:

Honda Insight Documentation

btw if you have other documents you want me to put there just let me know.
Thanks for the effort. I just downloaded them. You know they will be useful. Now, back to the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. ;o)

thanks :)

This link appears to be bad: Gen1 Workshop Manual PDF Collection (Online View - GoogleDocs)

Also, I have to dig them up, but I have some step-by-step manuals too (like how to replace the big battery, etc.)

i have only an iPad at this time. Any idea howmlarge theses files are? anyone downloaded onto an IPAD?

This first file contains original Honda docs on the following:

  • Accessories Installation
  • Bulletins
  • Electrical Troubleshooting Manual
  • Service News
  • Body Repair Manual
  • Specs
  • Advance DTC Troubleshooting (really helpful)

"Electrical Troubleshooting Manual" and "Body Repair Manual"
These 2 Books contain linked pages, so for easy navigation through them, extract all the pdf's for the manual in one folder, then open any one of the PDF's in the folder, and click on the MAIN MENU button, to go to
the start page.

For the "Advance DTC Troubleshooting" the PDF's are in the folder for each "P Code"

And the "service News" documents include info about other Hondas in the same documents as well, to find information pertaining to the Insight, you can search through those PDF's

~50mb
HondaInsightPDFs.zip

This second file is a 2000-2006 Insight, service manual, It doesn't seem to be an original Honda document like the ones above, but its still got all the info, and is composed of searchable PDF's

~180mb (extract the pdf's from the compressed file)
Honda-Insight-2000-2006.exe

(To download, use Rightclick --> Save as)

It feels like this thread could use an update. There's a few dead links and what seems to be 'circular postings' where multiple links contain some of the same information. Is there a better resource for factory service information that I'm missing? I think I was able to find everything I needed, but it took me an hour or so to dissect the links.

There are many more documents in later additions to this thread that should probably be pulled up into the first post. Perhaps we need a sticky for Gen 1 Official Documents?

I would propose that the Honda-Insight-2000-2006.exe file be put to the top. This seems to be the closest item to a factory service manual in this thread.

To help myself and others save time in the future, here's a quick summary of the primary information contained in each link. I've noted what links are not working at the time of writing.

This looks like it could be a decent portion of the service manual, but is formatted in a way that makes it remarkably difficult to comprehend. For example, the 'Electronic Troubleshooting Manual' section contains 520 individual PDFs. With few exceptions, each one is only a single page of the manual. Some people mention links working if you use a specific piece of software...?

Looks like there's a compiled version of this information that exists here, but I had to look for a bit to find it.

It looks like this is the proper service manual, it downloads as a .exe that is actually just a self-extracting archive. I wandered around for 20-25 minutes in the previous link before realizing this was the file I needed.

This seems to be a document focused on general specs of the Insight and how the IMA system works. It comes across as a sales training document more than a service document, as there is a lack of torque specs, disassembly/re-assembly steps, or part numbers. There is a bit of light maintenance info in here.

A supplement for the 2001 service manual that includes a number of additional replacement steps such as removing the triangle glass windows or the headliner. There's also sections on cooling and maintenance intervals. I may try and place these pages into the full manual (the 180mb archive).

Link is dead.

A very impressive (if not quite intimidating) online troubleshooting handbook that is very thorough. Unfortunately a number of links to specific documents require the reader to request permission from the owner.

I'll admit that the color choices in here made my eyes bleed a bit, but that's purely subjective and not meant as an insult to the creator :).

403 error for both of these links.

This is real website... not facebook, not drop box, not google drive, not mediafire, not photobucket, or any other fly-by-night crap alternative to good old html site in the open web and non-profit, non-advertising too.

Thanks, that's a big help as I just acquired a 2002 CVT Insight.
