  2. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hey guys. getting some issues with my 2000mt. I’m pretty sure my IMA is dead, or the cells are extremely off balance to one another. Getting some weird issues, and i’d like to drive it here and there (2 200 miles drives) until i can (ideally) get a lithium battery set for it. My grid charger is...
  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Bypassed my IMA battery for the past 50K miles. Left my passenger side window cracked during the rain the other night and started it to go to work, went down the highway 5 miles to make a turn, slammed on the brakes and the MT car died. Went to restart it and there was little to no 12v...

    Hi everyone, For whatever it is worth here is my BCM experiences. My car is a 2008 Honda Civic. We have owned it about five years from used. I reconditioned the pack once and replaced every 11 pairs of sticks once. (I lucked out bought a scrapyard pack and it must of had a warranty...
  7. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hello All, This first post is just a background, the next one has my questions. At the end of 2014, being that I desperately wanted an Insight I ended up settling on a 2001 CVT, and soon after the CVT crapped out. Dealer wanted over $3k and every mechanic locally said I was better letting the...
  8. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hello! New to the forum, and have read though all of the "P1644" help threads that I could find on here. Really stumped at this point. Synopsis: Was driving the car up a slight grade.

  9. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi all. After a discharge and grid charge and pulling the battery terminals off I can no longer get the IMA to reset. I get no state of charge reading at all even after 20 minutes of driving. The 12 volt is charged up as well. Even tried with a different 12 volt. The car is now starting off the...

  12. Problems and Troubleshooting
    My 2001 CVT w/ 187K miles still has its original battery. This summer, the IMA and engine lights came on after a few weeks of quicker discharge and slow regen. Shortly after, the Assist and Regen gauges stopped registering any activity. I read the codes and got P1447 and P1449 (Battery Module...

  14. Problems and Troubleshooting
    This forum has been great. I'm glad I found it because it is just what I need right now. I have a 2001 Insight and was told that my IMA is bad & needs to be replaced. At $3K, I need to save up some money. I was told I could drive the car on gas alone. My first tank of gas I'm getting about...
  15. Buy/Sell Insight-Related Items
    Just switched out the battery from my 2000 insight, so i have my old one sitting around with the two computers that sit ontop, which i believe are the BCM and MCM. The battery occasionally gave the code p1449, which i think would make it prime for reconditioning, but it was working when i took...
  16. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Can anyone provide the part numbers I need to price Honda replacement of the IMA battery BCM and MCB for my 2000 M/T Insight? Since I will not do the repair myself I may be at the mercy of dealer prices. I had one battery replaced but the part numbers do not seem right according to the...
