2011 Honda Civic Si Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2011 Honda Civic Si include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), and P0171/P0174 (lean condition). Left unaddressed, P0300 can lead to severe engine or catalytic converter damage — repair costs escalate from simple ignition coil or spark plug replacement to full engine or exhaust system work. P0420 often starts as an oxygen sensor or catalytic converter issue; timely OEM correctives at our dealership prevent converter replacement costs. P0171/P0174 may indicate vacuum leaks or fuel trim problems; diagnosing early avoids fuel economy losses and additional component stress. At Coggin Honda Saint Augustine, we blend local convenience with manufacturer expertise: fast check-ins, precise code reading, and thorough explanations so you understand options and pricing. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore performance, and repairs performed under warranty must be done at a certified dealership to ensure coverage.
