How to Fix Honda Civic Hybrid IMA Battery

[@alsalam3039]

I have the same car, when the original battery went out I replaced it with a used one which was imported from Japan but because the used battery was drained overtime it was still giving me issues like the abs and eps lights come on. As soon as the lights come on I would pull up to the nearest shop and have them check the voltage coming from the ima to the 12v battery and sure enough the voltage was no more than 8-9 which is not enough to be charging the 12 v battery. The fix: Disconnect the negative terminal on the 12 v battery for 2 minutes and restart the car, you will notice that the car will begin to charge immediately, wait until the blue indicator reaches all the way to the top, switch off the car and repeat this every hour for 10 hours. This will fix the problem, it worked for me for 2 months now without any problems. Hopefully will work for you too. Good luck.

I have the exact same issue after sitting over the weekend. All I do is drive about 5 miles, pull off the side of the road into a parking lot where it is SAFE, turn the car off, wait about twenty seconds, and then restart the car. Works about 98% of the time on the first try.

Very helpful! Thanks!!! Dealership wanted to put in a new battery, and this only happens to me if it's been sitting for several days in below zero temperatures!

Yo bro I thought this shyt was fake asf and unsafe since u didn’t show the road when doing it /-but dam bro that shyt worked perfectly on my first try 🔥🔥

You need to change the DC-to-DC converter, that goes behind the back seat as a module attached to the 144volt battery (high voltage⚡). It brings the voltage down to run all accessories and charge the 12volt battery.

Works on my 2003 however I believe it’s caused by the Dc to Dc converter so going to test it

[@heckstreasures4984]

What were your findings om the DC converter?

[@yokaii561]

hey did you ever test it?

[@BIGBeefyBros]

If the battery is going out I'm confused how this is a fix?

[@Evan2]

It's not, just a temporary bandaid to continue driving the car as normal on a failing battery.

[@nikki030505]

I tried this but I drive a manual transmission. It didn’t work for me so I swapped the battery for another one out of a car that had transmission issues. Voltage at the battery is 155v but still have the same issue. 😢

[@nikki030505]

Me too. Driving me crazy

[@TheVoiceofReason4ya]

[@heckstreasures4984]
