I decided to share my collection of PDFs I've had on the Insight.

Wow! A lot of good stuff here. Thanks!

 

Very helpfull, thank you so much.

 

Great stuff!!! Honda should have put the Advance DTC Troubleshooting in the official Insight service manual.

Thank you.

 

yeah, those are the ones I like the most, because they actually tell you the technical aspects of what is going on.

 

Wow, thanks so much!! I'm so glad that I held out and didn't buy anything yet. Downloading now!

 

Gold, thanks a lot!

 

darn

Tried today in my phone and went to the web site.Now i am at home on the laptop,No can do, they won't give it up.I go to get my gen1 in one week! Thanks to everyone on this site

 

I can't seem to get these downloads to work. I tried it in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. It'll download about 8mbs worth and then give an error.

Thanks a TON for doing this though, you're really helping to further the Insight community.

I just tried downloading it with firefox, and it seemed to work fine, are you sure nothing wrong on your end?

But anyway, I can upload the files again to a different website if it is needed...

Anyone know of a good Free file Hosting site?

 

Online Backup: Storage for Files, Music File Hosting, MP3, Documents, Images works pretty well and doesn't require you to register. Otherwise my other main ones are Free file hosting. File sharing. File upload. FileFactory.com and FileDen.com | Free file hosting and online storage , but those require a (free) sign-up.

I'm currently trying to troubleshoot why my driver's side window is stuck all the way down, so this would be extremely helpful. Thanks again, it's greatly appreciated.

 

Really appreciate you making these files available!!

Had no problem downloading both!!

Thanks again, Jim.

 

Hmm, looks like I'm the only one with the problem. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the files being zipped a certain way that's PC only (I'm on a Mac). Never run into something like this before, but I guess you never know. In that case, don't worry about spending more time uploading to other sites, I'll just try it from other computers.

Thanks again!

 

well, I uploaded it again anyway, for anyone who is having trouble:

(Honda Documents)
HondaInsightPDFs.zip


(Service Manual)
Honda-Insight-2000-2006.exe

 

Thank you very very much!

 

Nice information Thanks for putting it up.
I particularly found the description of the 4 different P1449 codes in the advanced DTC section interesting. You need to get the blink code to know which is being detected, as an OBDII will only state the P1449.

 

Got it to work today. Thanks again! Really helpful.

 

very awesome, thanks.

 

Wow.........

 

it doesnt work for me. i downloaded it from both sites but it only downloads like 145 MB of the file. im using firefox too.

 

This needs to be made a sticky.
HELLO MODERATORS

 

i just hope the links dont expire or something, otherwise I or someone else would have to re-uplad...

 

I will upload these to my own webspace as well and provide some simple links when I get back from holiday. I have made them a sticky as well. Thanks to the original uploader. Peter

Edit i've just been looking at a few of these and can see I need to read them all.

The few I have read show that.

1) The current sensors for the battery and motor have a working range of -200 to +200A. My quest for a bit more power may work in the end!

2) The battery detrioration calculations allow a minimum battery capacity of 650mah before a code is set

3) The temp sensors in the battery pack are described in detail with temp/resistance data!

4) They contain data about the construction of the inter BCM/MCM modules serial comms and IMA control that we had to work out the hard way.

To coin a phrase from Mr Spock "Fascinating"

 

Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading it cover to cover.

 

THANKS ;this should be very helpful

 

The file host doesn't work with download managers (Down them all) but works with a simple DL.

 

useful info gleaned so far

I have now discovered some more useful info.

1) The battery current sensor reads -100 to +100A 0A = 2.5v output

2) The MPI Current sensor reads -200 to +200A 0A = 2.5v output

3) The PTC strips do not set a cell overtemp alarm until a cell reaches +90C

4) The battery temp sensors do not set a fault until the overall battery temp reaches +80C

5) The battery fan does not activate until the pack reaches 55C+

 

I have not had a chance to read it as I am afraid I could put it down, but had a question. Not sure about the i1, but the i2 seems to have a smultispeed blower. It has like a light breeze with the key on, then it revs up to high gear when doing a force regen. Then when in auto stop it seems to have a loweer speed still vs idle.

Did it say when the ima system quits or rests? Is there a temp that can make it stop til it cools down? Also where does the air from the blower go? Does it blow under the body panels of the back or to the outside?

I have now discovered some more useful info.
