No , both the 2.4 liter four cylinder engine and the 2.7 liter V6 engines in a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe use a timing BELT ( there will be a " plastic " cover over the timing belt )
Timing BELT because I have changed once and mine was a 2003 so I am sure it is since I haven't heard of a timing chain car in Hyundai.
