Our service process includes transparent estimates, OEM parts, and a thorough post-repair verification that protects your vehicle’s performance and long-term costs. If your repair is warranty-covered, it must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid — our technicians document every step to maintain coverage.

2011 Honda Civic Si Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2011 Honda Civic Si include oxygen sensor (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and misfire codes (P0300–P0312). Ignoring these codes can lead to decreased fuel economy, costly catalytic converter replacement, and potential engine damage. At Hare Honda in IN we explain the likely consequences and cost implications of each code so you can make informed decisions. For example, an oxygen sensor repair is typically less costly than a failed catalytic converter replacement that can become necessary if the sensor issue is ignored; addressing misfires rapidly prevents broader engine and exhaust system damage. Our certified technicians perform accurate diagnostics, recommend OEM repairs when needed, and apply any available service specials to reduce immediate costs. We also offer service financing so you can repair now and spread payment, delivering both peace of mind and long-term value.
