Default Check engine light and IMA light

Hey fellas, I have a 2000 Insight, this evening my wife came home and said that the IMA light came on, and then a little later the check engine light came on. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but I'm sort of clueless where to even start with this issue.

I don't have any codes yet, so I'm starting in the dark. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Start with pulling the codes.

Probably P1449 and P1600.

Location please so we can determine if terrain or weather is also the culprit.
How about a P1449(73) and a P1645?
What's the state of the IMA battery?
waiting more info.
