I'm receiving conflicting information about the 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid w/the 1.3 L engine. I need to know whether this particular model's engine has a timing belt or chain. No one, including a local Honda dealer, seems to know for sure. This is very frustrating when a mechanic can't say for sure.... belt or chain. Anyone out there know for SURE, or do I need to post more info regarding the model or engine specs/numbers?

Thanks for the input, but it dawned on me to look down into the oil filler with an LED flashlight as that would most likely be where a chain would be found. Ding ding ding! The chain is visible beneath the strainer. Good news for 2004 Honda Hybrid owners. No super expensive belt replacement worries with this model.

2004 civic hybrid p0700, p0717 my car don'ts walk

the P07 codes are TRANNY.
errors from the TCM (tranny brain)
your tranny is sick.
check all fuses.
that is a hybrid, take it to handa and get that very complex car fixed.
got a CVT tranny, if you dont know, then you only have 1 choice.
take it in.
my guess is its a reg. A/T transmission (planetary gears)
700
Engine running and the PCM detected an Automatic Transaxle fault.
