Checking Honda Model
Checking Honda Model
Hi All,
Is there a way to check your exact Honda Civic Model? I know mine is an LX but how do you know if its got ABS, SAB and all those other variants.
I tried entereing my VIN at https://estore.honda.com/honda/parts...ehicle-vin.asp but they don't know.
Thank you!

I have one and it's a DX with A/C, power locks, tach, and CD player. No ABS and mine's an auto.

Re: Checking Honda Model
yeah, there's also the HX and VP, but I didn't feel like getting into that. lol. I just listed the "main" trim levels.
TBH, laziness. Did that between studying stuff for new job.

Re: Checking Honda Model
Oh ok, gotcha!
Mine is a Canadian LX 2 Door Coupe.
When I go here to get parts http://torontohondaparts.com/Categor...ookieSupport=1
It shows different "Grades" i.e "LX (ABS, AC), LX (ABS, SAB), LX (AC), LX (AC, SAB).
So mines just an LX (AC) as far as I know.
I don't think I have an ABS, since one of these https://www.varaosahaku.fi/fi-en/Sea...l/ID-30558181/ is missing on top of my "Engine Side Mounting" Part: 50827-S5A-003 but Side Airbags, I'm not sure.
