Upgrading the I2?

[Ehetleos]

A guy from our Greek hybrid forum was facing some problems with his I2 and went to the dealer's garage for a diagnosis. They found that the small baterry needed charging but they also did some upgrading in the I2's software. For the most he could see, standing next to the technician, they upgraded the cpu's software concerning the IMA system , IMA battery charge handling, engine response to gas injection and some other things he could not clearly see.
Has there been an official uprgade directive from Honda for the I2 (as with the Civic) ? Anyone aware of anything on the matter?
MY local dealer knows nothing about it concerning the Insight...

The civic has an update that reduces the use of the hybrid battery and can cause a loss of upwards to 10mpg.

That's an old one from back in Jan and it was only for Jazz and Fit (I know my 07 sport was in it).

Can you share the link to that original post? I want to understand more about what problem he was noticing, and see if I (or anyone here) am facing the similar problem.

I am interested in a software update if that enhance the drivablility. Especially smooth out the gasoline-electric power transition, and reduce the jerkiness (when I step on the accelerator right after I release the brake) as if I don't know how to drive a stick shift car.

Curious problem and… certain advices
“in: September 25, 2010, 08:41: 57”

You I deposit what I today lived and learned from my Insight. I have him to 2 months and have made 1700[chl].

I reach in my destination, I park regularly, I lock and leave. I return and from far I see blinking Led from [piso] Fotis of course, in the beginning I believed that they were the flashes (I have forgotten alarm turned on from parking I thought) but approaching the car I saw that the all other Fotis were turned off. I enter in the car goes puts front the machine nothing, deads, all [apenergopoiimena]. It made me impression that even the other 3 doors and the door [mpagkaz] were locked, only the driver, fortunately, had will unlock with the remote control. In the beginning I thought that I remained from battery (in hybrid) and experience manual I see should make in such cases. At some time I say [xanaprospatho] to put front the machine. I turn the switch in place ON (II) and the all clues they turn on regularly. I turn the key in the place Start (III) and the engine it takes front it works for 2-3 seconds and afterwards extinguishes. Immediately in the MID is presented the message System Check and afterwards the ((ABS)). I extinguish, leaves passes 1 thin and [xanaprospatho] but also fight the himself. Of course I say [glytosame] the battery and we go for brain, machine and I see that we will reach. I take Tel. the road help of Honda and I wait for they come while in such cases I call to be does not make absolutely nothing from alone you.

After 30-35 thinly come road and after I explain to them what became I go I put front they see what they will make and automotive [peire] with the one and all functioned physiologically. I extinguish, [xananabo] all perfect. Says to me the press road [prochora] front him to go to a garage of Honda him they see for good and for villain and i I will come from behind not it happens something and you remain. Fortunately I was hardly 6-7 km from central [Sarakaki]. In the street the car was irreproachable in all and reached in the garage without no problem.
In the garage as soon as I said to them what had become they took a table pc him they connected in car and they began to make the electronic control of car. In the garage I remained 45 thinly and in my speech with the technician I learned enough things, which I mention to you below.

1. For those who they do not know him the door of communication with the brain is little above the pedal of accelerator, there that begins plastic.

2. The control showed that at some time the ABS had detected that the tendency of small battery of 12V had fallen under the 10V and [gi]' this removed from me System Check. It explained to me that ABS and SRS (airbags) they check the tendency of battery, because they are systems of safety, with thoughtful that after the tendency from 12V fell in the 10V falls also other and if it needs I am activated I do not have the tendency that needs the system of safety I am.

3. The control did not show no other problem and all functioned regularly (I was [dipla] and saw what it removed the screen of PC) and finally could not say to me which expensive it caused the problem (at the same time [fortize] the battery for certainty). I ensured that the problem was completely accidental and that I did not have I worry for nothing. I did not insist for [parapano] explanations.

4. The control showed also that existed available upgrades for 5 systems of car whoever upgraded also regularly. It said to me that occasionally his come upgrades for various lots insight that good are they become.

5. So much at the duration of upgrades but specifically at the duration of controls of systems of car, the clues of table of bodies blinked very curiously but the all money were the MID which removed something clues that as explained to me technical we are not to see never. Impression made me when at some time they began to go up and down the indicators of charge of battery and level of petrol while the needle [strofometroy] passed the 8000 turns and went up to the S to the clue of place of speeds.

6. The technician said to me that good she is when we put front the machine we turn the key up to place ON (II) and we wait for 1-2 seconds so that makes the controls the system and afterwards we go to START (III) so that it turns on the machine. Himself had said to me also the press from the road help.

7. It said that immobilizer insight he is too much fast and code they are read to him immediately.

8. It gave me also a advice so that they do not lock in t o car the keys. Each time says that we open the door we check that it turned on the light in the centre of Campinas. If the switch that it checks [an] she is open the door of driver spoils then can believe the system that did not open the door and him lock fight and [an] we have left in the keys…. we go home to bring the second key.

This they happened today, them I learned, them I transport to you, your own comments.

1.Engine Control
2.IMA System
3.IMA Battary

The other 2 were simple initial letters and I did not understand what they concerned.

I asked him if I see no difference in automotive afterwards the upgrades and to me it said that in the control I will not see difference the upgrades they have making with the management of systems.

Thanks for the link and translation. Did you use online translator like babelfish or igoogle? I think I need quite a bit of time to digest the translated words. Hehe.
