The light stays on. My wife says I may need an oil change or some other routeen maintanence (she owns 2005 Prius).
I am going to bring to Honda dealer tomorrow but am looking for some insight into potential expectations. |
An IMA light is unlikely to be caused by a routine maintenance problem and more likely to be caused by an IMA system problem. Most common is an IMA battery problem. If the dealer reads a diagnostic trouble code that indicates an IMA battery problem, Honda doesn't do anything but replace the battery. If your Insight hasn't been reconstructed, this replacement should occur under warranty.
