My car is a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. I’m at a loss of words. Just bought a new battery AND a refurbished IMA battery. IMA got replaced first and then a couple days later I did the 12v battery. The car has no codes as of now. Before it had IMA related codes until I replaced it. The car has no alternator.

-What do I even do at this point? I got it checked at an official Honda Dealer and they told me the IMA needs replacing. I had it replaced by Green Bean/Bumblebee batteries and the 12v light came on after they were done with it. They told me the 12V had low volts so I replaced it and it turned it on and BOTH LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. I’m down almost $2000 trying to fix this stupid car.

 

The car doesn't have a traditional alternator but uses the same technology with the starter coil.
What are the codes.

 

There are no codes currently since the the installer has put in the new IMA. Haven’t taken it out my driveway only turned on ignition since then. Codes before installation were p1600 and p1449

 

Hey all,
So I bought the automobile maybe a month ago. It hasn't been pushed a lot final 12 months from what ive seen. Anyways, I drove it first-class for the first few weeks. Then after a long 1 hour ride, the IMA & 12v popped up at the sprint for the primary time ever. So I took the journey returned with audio grew to become off. When I got again, I turned off the engine and became it lower back on; IMA & 12v warning become now not there. I determined to rate it up. Then nothing came up at some stage in every other 2 hour adventure. I even though candy problem solved. Went into the car a few days later and each the warnings popped up again after five-10 mins of riding. So I were given the 12v battery changed that day and the whole lot become excellent after any other 20 minute adventure. Fast ahead maybe per week of ordinary using and any other 1 hour journey, all proper but on the way again the IMA & 12v caution pops up once more... The simplest factor I have on are the DRLs which I cant flip off and the audio, not anything else. Anyway I flip off the radio, get home 15 mins later. Turn off the engine & turn it lower back on, no troubles on dashboard. I examined the brand new battery & its got 12.57v so this is ok proper? Must've recharged itself after i turned off the audio or is it some thing else? What is the hassle then?
