2010 Hyundai Tucson Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual is built around the 2010 Hyundai Tucson exactly as it left the line — that model year, that engine, those trims — so the specifications and service sequences you work to are the ones Hyundai published for this vehicle, not values carried over from an adjacent year of the same nameplate.

Engines covered

• 2.4L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

• GLS
• Limited

Known issues on the 2010 Tucson. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first involves the frontal air bag sensor and control module going inactive, a condition Hyundai ties to properly seated adult right front seat passengers weighing over approximately 240 pounds and the passive occupant detection system; if the air bag warning lamp is illuminated, the passenger air bag will deploy. The second is filed against the hydraulic service brakes and the antilock and traction control system, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The third covers the brake light switch, where failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control is the reported consequence. Owners have filed 78 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 96 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are chasing an illuminated air bag lamp, testing a brake light switch or working a scheduled service on the 2.4L, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct figure for this 2010 Tucson.
