2009 Honda Civic Service and Repair Manual
This 2009 Honda Civic factory service and repair manual is built around this exact year, engine and trim, so every torque value and diagnostic step reflects what Honda actually published for your car — whether it left the line with the 1.8L gas R18A1, the 1.8L CNG R18A4, the 1.3L hybrid LDA2, or the 2.0L Si-spec K20Z3 under the hood — instead of a generic Civic-era procedure.

Known issues on the 2009 Civic. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year, and seven of them trace back to the same part: the passenger frontal air bag inflator. Some units are flagged for propellant that can degrade and rupture, sending metal fragments toward the driver and other occupants, while others were flagged because a replacement inflator was installed incorrectly, either way risking improper deployment in a crash. The eighth recall covers a fuel hose connector bracket that can come loose, damaging the connector and creating a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire. Owners have filed 395 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for the 2009 Civic. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag inflator inspection to a fuel line check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Civic.
