  1. Troubleshooting and Problems
    I have a Honda Insight 2010 ZE2 UK version.

  2. Problems and Troubleshooting
    A little bit of background..... I have a 2005 1st gen insight (my second insight) with 96K miles. Bought it with a "bad" refurbished battery. The current battery had been replaced about 5 years ago but the previous owner let the car just sit to the point that the IMA stopped working prior to...
  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    First time I have ever had an issue. I was on my way to work this morning and came to my first stop light and my Insight auto stopped as it does, then when the light turned green… I did not go. I shifted to park and back to drive and still didn’t work. Turned the key and instead of using the...
  4. Problems and Troubleshooting
    About a month ago, my IMA light came on. It wasn't unexpected; my car is almost old enough to consent and it's still on the original battery. About two weeks ago, the Charge / Assist meter stopped working, the battery level started acting wonky, Auto Stop never activated even under ideal...
  5. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi, I have a 2001 Honda Insight, with a rebuilt IMA battery (rebuilt about 4 years ago), and would like to describe some issues I've been having in the hope that someone has some ideas on what the problem(s) could be and how to solve them. Thanks for reading! State #1: After a few short...
  6. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    There’s a hill by my house with a perfectly placed stop sign. I can slow down to about 3 mph, and the G1 (CVT) turns off the engine, but creeps forward just well enough to keep rolling all the way down the hill without turning the engine back on. I can get up to about 29 mph with the engine off...
  7. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Hey guys, I was talking to a Honda Engineer who told me that many of the functions of the insight generation 1 car can be controlled through an ODB2 interface. He said that the car was more of an engineering exercise than meant for a real production car. Honda lost over ten grand per car...
  8. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Auto Stop started behaving strangely, Malfunction Indicator lamp coming on & low mpg We moved to hilly part of Devon in the UK and we live at the top of a long and steep hill (22% average incline). I mention this as my 2000 Insight went from an average 85 mpg to about 50 mpg, in the last 6...

  10. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I'm up to 90K miles (new batt pack at 30K) on my 2000 Insight and have had few problems. Recently though if I sit at a stop light for a minute or more while the motor is auto stopped (idle-stop) and then drive away my SOC state of charge meter begins plummeting downward, usually to the bottom...
  11. Troubleshooting and Problems
    I've had my 2010 Insight LX since March. For the last week, when I come to a full stop, my auto stop light has been blinking at a regular interval (at about the rate of a turn signal). I have changed absolutely nothing about my driving style. The car is always in ECON mode with the A/C on...
  12. Modifications and Technical Issues
    I read the clutch/brake switch thread in here. I was wondering if anyone had done a similar thing with a CVT? The brake pedal has 2 switches, taillight and Autostop. My theory is that if you place an override switch on the Autostop switch (NC when pedal up, so it would have to be a NC momentary...
