2013 Ford Taurus Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Ford Taurus covers three gasoline engines in the four-door sedan: the naturally aspirated 3.5L DOHC V6, the turbocharged 2.0L DOHC inline-four and the turbocharged 3.5L DOHC V6. Four trims are documented, Limited, SE, SEL and SHO. The inline-four and the two V6s each get their own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, and the two turbocharged engines are not lumped together simply because both carry a turbocharger.

Known issues on the 2013 Taurus. Eight recalls are on federal record, and fuel delivery is the theme of three: a component in the fuel pump module on turbocharged 3.5L cars can overheat and cut power to the pump, stalling the engine, and the fuel delivery module can crack and leak fuel. A halfshaft and linkshaft can also disengage while driving, cutting drive to the wheels. Owners have lodged 589 complaints with NHTSA, and steering alone accounts for roughly half, far ahead of the fuel and propulsion system and the engine. Steering diagnostics, fuel pump wiring diagrams and halfshaft procedures are in the manual.
