The 2002 Jeep Wrangler was sold with two engine choices across four trims, and this service and repair manual is tied to that exact model year. Because it is year-specific, the figures and procedures match your Wrangler and not a similar-looking earlier or later build.

Known issues on the 2002 Wrangler. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: a hydraulic service-brake fault where a loss of brake fluid can lead to a decrease in brake line pressure and an increase in stopping distance; an equipment fault where the cockpit could cause injury by striking persons outside the vehicle; and a fuel-delivery leak at the fuel pump that, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Owners have filed 139 complaints and Jeep has issued 31 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine fluid change to a brake-system overhaul or a hard-to-trace fuel-delivery fault, this manual keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2002 Wrangler.
