2001 Hyundai Accent Service and Repair Manual

Hyundai wrote one set of numbers for the 2001 Accent, and this factory service and repair manual carries exactly those: it is keyed to this year, to the 1.5L and 1.6L four-cylinder engines, and to the trims Hyundai actually sold, so the specification you follow is the one published for your car rather than a near match carried over from another Accent year.

Engines covered

• 1.6L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
• 1.5L inline-four — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan
• 2-door hatchback

Trims covered

• GL
• GS
• L

Known issues on the 2001 Accent. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is filed under structure, frame and members: certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact," a noncompliance identified during testing of the 3-door hatchback, and an occupant's head that contacts the A-pillar during a crash could experience an increased risk. The second is filed under vehicle speed control and applies to passenger vehicles equipped with 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter engines that were originally sold in or are currently registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois and Indiana, among others: moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases may freeze inside the throttle body bore. Owners have filed 148 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 57 technical service bulletins.

From a throttle body that freezes on a cold morning to interior work around the A-pillars or a routine service interval on the 1.5L or 1.6L, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 Accent.
