I have 180,000 miles on my 2000 Insight. I also had the battery replaced, {FOR FREE} about 4 years ago. At the time I had 149,000 miles on my IMA. So the new battery only lasted 40,000 miles (that's criminal)
I'm having the same problem with my IMA. The light came on, had Advance Auto pull the code P1447, P0134 and P1163.
P1447 - battery degradation
P0134 and P1163 - O2 sensor issue ( Bank one, Sensor one)
I fixed this issue by popping the hood and reaching down to the bottom of the cat and tighten the sensor, it was almost falling out. {Does that often happen???}
I’m going to contact Ron or rip everything out and convert to a fully electric. My wife was driving it to and from work, about 4 miles a day. Even running it without IMA would be an acceptable option at this time.
