2002 Ford E-150 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Ford E-150 covers the three-door standard passenger van in its single XL trim, built around a choice of two gasoline engines. The 4.2L overhead-valve V6 of 256 cubic inches is the smaller of the pair, and the 5.4L overhead-cam V8 of 330 cubic inches sits above it, both naturally aspirated. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are laid out system by system for both, so a shop can move between a six-cylinder van and a V8 van without changing books.

Known issues on the 2002 E-150. One recall is on federal record for this model year, recorded under vehicle speed control on a campaign that reached across a long list of Ford vans, trucks and wagons. Owners have filed 37 complaints with NHTSA. Speed control on this van runs through the engine management and the body wiring, so the wiring diagrams, diagnostics and specifications for those circuits are the sections most likely to be needed, alongside the ordinary service procedures for the 4.2L V6 and the 5.4L V8.
