2002 Honda Accord Service and Repair Manual
This 2002 Honda Accord factory service and repair manual is built around the exact engine and trim on your build sheet — the 2.3L L4 in F23A5, F23A1 or F23A4 form, or the 3.0L V6 coded J30A1 — so every torque value and diagnostic step is the one Honda published for your specific car, not an average pulled across the Accord generation.

Known issues on the 2002 Accord. Sixteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover the driver frontal air bag inflator, where propellant degradation over time can cause the inflator to rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the driver or other occupants. One covers the ignition switch interlock, which can let the key be removed without the transmission actually being in park, allowing the vehicle to roll away. One covers the V6 engine's timing belt: a misaligned tensioner pulley on the water pump can let the belt contact a cylinder head bolt, eventually damaging the belt so it fails and the engine stalls. The remaining eleven recalls cover aftermarket replacement headlamp and corner-lamp assemblies sold for use on this vehicle that are missing the required amber side reflectors, reducing visibility to other drivers. Owners have filed 1,066 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a driver airbag inflator replacement to chasing the V6 timing belt tensioner alignment or wiring in a compliant headlamp assembly, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2002 Accord.
