What this manual has that the owner's manual does not
The owner's manual stops where the repair starts. The factory repair manual picks up from there:
- Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
- Factory repair manual: diagnosis by trouble code, step-by-step repairs, tightening torques, wiring diagrams and connector views
Your 1997 Sportage is from the first-generation Sportage, built for model years 1995–2002. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but options, software and wiring changed along the way, which is why the manual is built for your VIN.
Engines offered
- G 2.0 DOHC
- G 2.0 SOHC
Transmission options
- Automatic Transaxle System
- Manual Transaxle System
The manual is made for the version in your VIN, so you don't have to work out your engine code.
Jobs owners of a 29-year-old Sportage look up most
- Wiring harness, connector and ground repairs
- Rubber hoses, seals and gaskets
- Rust repair and body panels
- Fuel pump, filter and lines
- Brake lines, hoses and master cylinder
