1992 Hyundai Sonata Service and Repair Manual
The 1992 Sonata was sold in two quite different mechanical forms, a 3.0L V6 and a 2.0L four-cylinder, across GL, GLS and Base sedans. Clearances, torque values and service intervals are not shared between those two engines, so the figure you work to on a 1992 Hyundai Sonata has to match the exact year, engine and trim in front of you rather than an approximation borrowed from an adjacent model year.
Engines covered
- 3.0L V6 — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 2.0L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Base
- GL
- GLS
Known issues on the 1992 Sonata. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the seat belts. The motorized shoulder belt can travel slowly or chatter in the track and may eventually stop tracking and become inoperative; a belt that slows, chatters or fails that way can discourage use of the restraint. NHTSA lists 43 owner complaints for the year, and 12 technical service bulletins have been issued for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From a shoulder belt that has stopped tracking to a service interval on the V6 or the l4, you are working to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1992 Sonata.
THE MOTORIZED SHOULDER BELT CAN TRAVEL SLOWLY OR CHATTER IN THE TRACK AND MAY EVENTUALLY STOP TRACKING AND BECOME INOPERATIVE.
SLOWING, CHATTERING, OR FAILURE OF THE MOTORIZED SHOULDERBELT MAY DISCOURAGE USE OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURYIN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL LUBRICATE THE TRACK ASSEMBLY AND, IF ANY SYSTEMS ARE FOUND INOPERATIVE, THE SYSTEM WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED, AS REQUIRED.
