2006 Honda Civic Service and Repair Manual
This 2006 Honda Civic factory service and repair manual is built for the exact engine and trim on your title, whether that's the 1.8L R18A1, the CNG-spec 1.8L R18A4, the 1.3L LDA2 hybrid, or the high-revving 2.0L K20Z3 in the Si, so every torque value and procedure is the one Honda published for that specific drivetrain rather than a generic Civic figure.

Known issues on the 2006 Civic. Fifteen recalls are on federal record for this model year, most of them tied to the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator: separate campaigns cover units that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, or that were installed incorrectly and may not deploy properly in a crash. Other recalls cover a front passenger occupant detection system that can fail to suppress air bag deployment for an infant or small child, a wheel speed sensor O-ring that can let water reach the wheel bearing and eventually let a wheel come loose, a brake light switch that can fail from over-lubrication of the steering column, cutting brake lights and, on automatics, blocking the shifter out of park, an accelerator pedal that can come loose from its floor mounting and stick the throttle, a CNG fuel tank that may not vent properly in a severe rear-seat fire, rear windshield or quarter glass that can loosen or separate while driving, aftermarket replacement headlamps sold without amber side reflectors, and an owner's manual printed with the wrong NHTSA safety hotline number. Owners have filed 1,402 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for the 2006 Civic in federal records. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing a brake light or shifter-interlock fault to a wheel bearing inspection or a CNG tank check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 Civic.
