2001 Elantra on hmaservice

Am I crazy or are the 2001-2003 Elantras no longer listed on the Shop
manual? For the Elantra XD, they only list 2004-2006. The '01 is
listed in some sections but not others.

 

The cars are largely identical mechanically and electrically, with a few
differences, so perhaps they didn't post redundant information on them.
What are you looking to do?

 

I was going to look up a check-engine light (it says P0420 - Catalyst
efficiency below threshold -- but I just passed a smog check). Before
they upgraded the site (and don't get me wrong -- I really appreciate
that the site is now Mac-friendly), they had year-specific listings
for every single vehicle, including '01. I'm just curious why they
would intentionally take listings for those years offline. But you're
right -- for most things, the '04 will be similar enough.

 

I've had this issue, too. Basically, check for exhaust leaks and proper
oxygen sensor operation. Most likely, you'll need to replace the manifold
and catalytic converter assembly. If you're lucky, recall V04 will still
be open and your manifold is cracked. That'll get you a free replacement.
(You should also get a free replacement if you're within the 8 year/80k
mileage warranty).
