2009 Hyundai Elantra Service and Repair Manual

Hyundai sold the 2009 Elantra in six versions, from the L sedan to the Touring hatchback, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim range — so every specification and sequence it gives is the one Hyundai published for your car, not a close-enough figure carried over from another model year.

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan
• 4-door hatchback

Known issues on the 2009 Elantra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the front passenger air bag's sensor and control module: the front passenger seats contain a weight sensor, and the front passenger air bag could deploy in crashes in which it should not deploy. The second covers the antilock brake system, where an electrical short within the ABS module may cause an engine compartment fire. The third is the brake light switch, which can fail to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or leave the cruise control unable to disengage. Owners have filed 316 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 38 technical service bulletins.

From tracing an ABS fault to testing a brake light switch or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Elantra.
