Description

The Chrysler Sebring, offered for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 model years, represents a versatile offering in the mid-size segment, available as a sedan (JR41), coupe (JR42), and convertible (JR47). This generation of Sebring, built in Sterling Heights, Michigan, featured a more rounded and aerodynamic styling. Buyers could choose between an efficient 2.4L 4-cylinder (EDZ) engine or a more powerful 2.7L V6 (EER) engine, both paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Its key selling point was the availability of a convertible body style, a feature that set it apart in its competitive set, which included popular models like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. This factory service repair manual provides comprehensive guidance for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair of the Chrysler Sebring models from 2001-2003. With over 1000 pages of detailed information in English, it covers all major vehicle systems, including engine mechanical and performance, transmission and drivetrain, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical and electronics, HVAC, and body components for sedan, coupe, and convertible variants. The manual includes essential maintenance procedures, troubleshooting charts, diagnostic trouble codes, repair and rebuild instructions, and detailed technical specifications, making it an indispensable resource for owners and professional technicians alike.
