The 2001–2005 Civic uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Honda Civic key guide.

2002 Honda Civic: key facts

Key type: Transponder chip key
Push-to-start: No
Transponder chip: Megamos 13
Programming: OBD
All keys lost: We can originate new keys on site

US vendor catalogs consistently list the HD106-PT (Megamos 13 fixed chip) for 2001-2002 Civic; European catalogs list Megamos Crypto 48 for the same years, so an odd key is confirmed by chip read. All-keys-lost is usually OBD-doable, but the earliest immobilizer units can need bench or dealer work.

Same key system as the 2001–2005 Civic

Honda kept the Civic's key system unchanged across 2001–2005, so everything about replacing a 2002 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Honda Civic key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Honda programming in general on our Honda key page.
