2009 Ford Flex Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Ford Flex documents the boxy four-door sport utility in its first listed year, and it has just one engine to account for: the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 (213 cu in), a dual-overhead-cam gasoline unit. Limited, SE and SEL share that drivetrain, so the procedures, specifications and torque values run through without engine branching, and the wiring diagrams and diagnostics describe a single vehicle. Anything from a routine service to a driveline repair starts from the same set of figures.

Known issues on the 2009 Flex. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the driver frontal air bag, which may inflate improperly during second-stage deployment in a high-speed crash and so raises the risk of injury. Owners have filed 181 complaints with NHTSA, spread fairly evenly across the electrical system, the service brakes and the engine. Restraint wiring, brake hydraulics and engine management are all covered by the manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.
