2009 Chevrolet Equinox Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox spans four trims, LS, LT, LTZ and Sport, on a single four-door sport utility body, with two naturally aspirated V6 engines available: the 3.4L of 207 cubic inches with overhead valves and the 3.6L of 217 cubic inches with double overhead cams. A technician needs to know which is in the vehicle before opening the engine section, because the two carry different figures throughout, in clearances, torque values and diagnostic specifications alike.

Known issues on the 2009 Equinox. The complaint record for this year is modest: 94 in total, split with 22 against the electrical system, 22 against the air bags and 10 against the power train. There is no single dominant failure to point at, which leaves the manual to be used the way it was written, as a reference entered at the system in question. Restraint diagnosis, circuit tracing with full wiring diagrams, and transaxle and driveline procedures with their torque and fluid specifications are all present in their own sections.
