2017 Ford Transit Custom Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 Ford Transit Custom widens its body coverage to three shapes, the four-door extended passenger van, the four-door standard cargo van and the four-door extended cargo van, while the engine stays a single turbocharged 2.2L DOHC inline-four diesel and the trims stay Cargo and Pasajeros. Longer and shorter cargo bodies change harness routing and rear structure more than they change the driveline, and the wiring diagrams, procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostics account for that.

Body styles covered
- 4-door extended passenger van
- 4-door standard cargo van
- 4-door extended cargo van

Known issues on the 2017 Transit Custom. Eight recalls are recorded federally for the 2017 van. Two were filed by mobility converters over wheelchair lifts whose platform can stop above the vehicle floor, allowing a user to tip inward while exiting; one covers trailer tow modules corroded by water ingress, with an electrical short as the consequence; and several more involve foldaway seat backs that can move in a crash. Owners have filed 98 complaints with NHTSA, 37 of them on the power train, nine on the electrical system and four on the structure. Driveline diagnostics and body wiring get the most use out of this manual as a result.
