2002 Hyundai Santa Fe Service and Repair Manual
Hyundai's factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Santa Fe is written to this exact year, engine and trim, so every specification it gives is the one Hyundai published for a 2002 — not a close-enough number carried over from a neighboring year of the Santa Fe.

- 2.7L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2002 Santa Fe. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the rear suspension on 83,355 vehicles from the 2001-2003 model years originally sold in or currently registered in certain states: if the corrosion is allowed to progress, the rear trailing arm may fracture while driving. A second covers vehicles equipped with the 2.7 liter V-6, on which improperly manufactured crankshaft position sensors were installed — a damaged CPS capacitor could result in engine stalling. The third is a compliance recall on the tire pressure labels, which do not contain the information required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, covering tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars. Owners have submitted 219 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 44 technical service bulletins.
From tracing an engine stall on the 2.7L V6 to a rear trailing arm inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on Hyundai's procedure and the correct specification for your 2002 Santa Fe.
