This is the first year for the current-generation Accord. Updates include the addition of throttle-by-wire in 2006, but the maintenance items covered here haven't changed. The base DX model has different alignment specs, and the front axle nut torque on all models with the 2.4L engine and automatic transmission is 134 ft.-lbs. (181Nm); on all others it's 181 ft.-lbs. (245Nm).
