On the suspension itself?
or on the car?


I don't know of any codes on them specifically, but below is an example of what I pulled off of mine



That being said, a good hard visual inspection is usually most thats needed to identify whether a shock is blown, otherwise the next best way (I've found) is to actually disassemble it and mess with the shock itself.

shocks and springs between the si and non si models aren't really that big of a deal. the differences in spring rates are minimal.

the big difference is front lower control arms and the sway bar.
