How to get all TSB's and SNA's

[larrys]

After a bit of playing around I've found the URL pattern to get all Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) and ServiceNews Articles (SNA) from Honda. Unfortunately I don't know how to find an index. If you're looking for a particular TSB or SNA and don't have the TSB number or SNA publication date you'll need to just look for them sequentially.

To find a TSB

The URL pattern is:

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/AYY-XXX.PDF

Where YY is the two-digit year and XXX is the 3 digit sequence number.

For example, the Service Bulletin for "Navigation System DVD Information and Inspection" (bulletin number 05-032) can be found here:

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A05-032.PDF

NOTE: Change the "A" to "B" and you'll find the TSBs for Acuras!

To find a SNA

The URL pattern is:

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/AYYMM00.PDF

Where YYMM is the two-digit year and two-digit month of the article. They come out once a month.

For example, to get the latest, March 2008 ServiceNews Article the URL would be:

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/A080300.PDF

And, you can change the "A" to "B" to get the Acura ServiceNews Articles too!

Maybe someone would like to go through them and post an index? Now that would take a good chunk of time!

Have fun!

Or just a good script (but I don't code)

Great work, larrys!

Request that this be made a sticky, please.

Awesome...
I downloaded a couple of hundred of them.(42 megs worth)..put them all together into one pdf and did a search on it. It helped me find a tsb regarding my audio system pop!

Any chance you'd put that file on my network drive or at least email me the one on the "radio pop"?

Here are bash shell scripts to suck all TSB's and SNA's. If you are a linux user you can use them to retrieve all TSB's/SNA's from 2002 to the current year...

Cut and paste them into files locally on your box, then:

chmod 755 get-snas
chmod 755 get-tsbs
./get-snas
./get-tsbs

Here is get-snas:

#!/bin/bash
# get-snas - retrieve all honda SNA's from YEAR_BEGIN to
# current year.
#
YEAR_BEGIN=2          # year to begin
YEAR_END=`date +%-y`  # sets to current year

MONTH_END=`date +%-m`
URI="http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/"

Y=$YEAR_BEGIN
while [ $Y -le $YEAR_END ]
do
	if [ $Y -lt 10 ]; then
		year="0${Y}"
	else
		year="${Y}"
	fi
	mon=1
	if [ $Y -eq $YEAR_END ]; then
		max_month=$MONTH_END
	else
		max_month=12
	fi
	while [ $mon -le $max_month ]
	do
		if [ $mon -lt 10 ]; then
			month="0${mon}"
		else
			month="${mon}"
		fi
		pdf="A${year}${month}00.PDF"
		if [ ! -f $pdf ]; then
			wget ${URI}${pdf}
		fi
		mon=$((mon+1))
	done
	Y=$((Y+1))
done

Here is get-tsbs:

#!/bin/bash
# get-tsbs - retrieve all honda TSB's from YEAR_BEGIN to
# current year.
#
YEAR_BEGIN=2           # year to begin
YEAR_END=`date +%-y`   # sets to current year

URI="http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/"

Y=$YEAR_BEGIN
while [ $Y -le $YEAR_END ]
do
	case $Y in
		2) TSB_MAX=84;;
		3) TSB_MAX=91;;
		4) TSB_MAX=80;;
		5) TSB_MAX=75;;
		6) TSB_MAX=92;;
		7) TSB_MAX=88;;
		8) TSB_MAX=77;;
		*) TSB_MAX=99;;
	esac
	tsb=1
	while [ $tsb -le $TSB_MAX ]
	do
		txt=$tsb
		if [ $tsb -lt 10 ]; then
			txt="00${tsb}"
		else
			txt="0${tsb}"
		fi
		pdf="A0${Y}-${txt}.PDF"
		if [ ! -f $pdf ]; then
			wget ${URI}${pdf}
		fi
		tsb=$((tsb+1))
	done
	Y=$((Y+1))
done

Where do you find the TSB numbers in the format listed in the links above? I can find the TSB info various places online, but none seems to list the numbers in the format:
Ayy-xxx.

Please advise, thank.

You can try AllData. On the right side you'll see a place to start with your model year of car.

Thank You!

I am looking for a copy of TSB 09162004. The link towards the front of this stream didn't help...

Anybody have a copy or know of a second source where I can get it?

What is that TSB supposed to cover? That may help in finding it.
