Not the owner's manual
Many people search for the 1996 Sephia owner's manual and need more than it gives. The difference:

- Factory repair manual: diagnosis by trouble code, step-by-step repairs, tightening torques, wiring diagrams and connector views
Your 1996 Sephia is from the Sephia generation, built for model years 1994–2001. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but options, software and wiring changed along the way, which is why the manual is built for your VIN.
