2001 Honda Civic Service and Repair Manual
This 2001 Honda Civic manual is built for the exact year, engine and trim on your title, covering the 1.7L L4 gas engines (D17A1, D17A2, D17A6) and the CNG-fueled D17A7, so the specifications and repair sequences inside match what Honda published for your car rather than a stand-in figure from another Civic model year.

Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
- 2-door coupe
Trims covered

Known issues on the 2001 Civic. Twenty-seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Seven cover the front air bags: six involve Takata driver and passenger frontal inflators that can rupture from propellant degradation after long-term heat and humidity exposure, sending metal fragments at occupants in a crash, and one covers a passenger air bag that may have been installed incorrectly during a repair, risking improper deployment in a crash. Twelve cover aftermarket replacement headlamp, corner-lamp, and combination-lamp assemblies sold for this Civic that omit the amber side reflectors required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, reducing visibility to other drivers. One covers a headlight wire harness low-beam terminal that can overheat, causing the low beams to fail without warning. One covers aftermarket tempered replacement glass that fails to break into small pieces as intended, risking injury from shattered glass in a crash. Three cover the fuel system: a fuel pump electrical connector that can corrode and stall the engine without warning, filler-neck hose clamps with insufficient clamping force that can let fuel leak after a collision, and on the CNG variant, a tank pressure-relief device that may not vent properly during a severe interior fire near the rear seat. Two cover rear seat belt buckles that were improperly manufactured, making them difficult to unfasten after a crash. And one covers a damaged air cleaner box cover that can send a broken plastic piece into the intake, sticking the throttle in a partially open position. Owners have filed 1,128 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged.
From a driver's air bag module replacement to a fuel pump or filler-neck inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 Civic.
