    Looking for the Toyota factory service manual and parts diagram for my 2015 Tacoma. Do these exist online? PDF manuals have been available for all my other vehicles

    I'd totally pay $30 for the real FSM. Did you buy this? Is it the real deal?

    2005 FSM - works just fine for a lot of what you'll do on 2nd Gen Tacoma 's - FREE

    http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old/files/05FSM/repair.html


    Similar to above, but you download and extract out FSM that you save to your hard drive. Lawyers could kill the first one and if they want to, this one as well - FREE

    http://web.archive.org/web/20110102225436/http://www.ncttora.com/FSM/


    You pay for this one. Last time I looked you could get a 2 day subscription for $15. Some people are able to download as PDF documents, but I believe it's one task at a time.

    Haven’t bought it yet but considering it. They have a money back guarantee so if it’s not the real one I guess it could be refunded.

    Get the one you can download on to your computer. The other online could be shutdown at any time due to copyright laws etc.

    How to download repair manual from TIS

    The toyota information system contents toyota vehicle repair manual which used to be PDF links, it's now chm mode which is only webpages. I am trying to download the manual for my vehicle in two days and here is the fastest way I figured out.

    Please share if you have better idea. I can't make those hyper-link work since they all became image in the pdf files.



    Tools you will need


    Firefox

    PDFCreator

    TIS login account ($15/2 days)


    Install PDFCreator, create a new profile, change the Auto-save option; Change the filename to <Title>, update the directory for auto-save. You need create a new printer to use this new profile, which can auto save your pdf to particular folder.



    Login TIS and open the repair manual, for the first page, make sure you selected the new PDFCreator printer as your current printer and print your first page, double check the pdf file at the auto-save folder and make sure that fits you want. I took the footer and header off so it looks much nicer.


    For firefox, type “about:config” in the address bar and add print.always_print_silent as Boolean and set it to true.


    Now, for each page you click on the left, there is a print icon on the top right corner, click that will print a new pdf file to the auto-save folder. For each page, you will need two clicks to save to pdf format.


    Go through all your pages and hit the printer icon. You should be able to download the repair manual in couple hours. The PDF files will have the full text title in the pdf file name, which you can easily search.

    Thread revival...*hands raised*

    I'm giving the repairmanuals.co site a try right now, when they say it will take 30min to be giving access info they aren't exaggerating. Been over 30...a bit annoying and disconcerting. Update, I have access but you get the manual through eautorepair.net, never stated on their website...and you get a ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION only, this IS stated on their website.

    IT IS NOT THE FACTORY MANUAL, it has some pdf's of it but it's super clicky to navigate, click on bumper replacement and one pdf is a picture, maybe the next pdf is the actual instructions? I don't know...I asked for refund after that. But whats worse is the wiring diagrams ARE NOT TOYOTA'S! They are b/w bs ones, not yota's beautifully designed ones.

    I used to pay 40-70 each for the repair and wiring manuals and that was fine. A pdf should be much cheaper honestly. Damned everyone going to subscription services...I'd gladly pay 30-40 for a pdf I can download.

    Guess I'll have to go the TIS route instead...damn that's going to be a pain, printing to pdf HUNDREDS of pages.

    I also found this;
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-...EPAIR-SERVICE-WORKSHOP-MANUAL-CD/383560830797
    but I can't find this being sold anywhere else, I don't buy off ebay unless I'm 100% sure of the quality.
