So here's my sad, sad tale:
The other day I turned on my Insight and the IMA and check engine lights came on... Sigh.
So yeah, took the car to the dealer the next day and their diagnosis was a faulty BCM and a dead battery pack. They're shipping in the BCM and a new battery to replace the faulty parts. The parts and labor are covered under the car's warranty, so thankfully I didn't have to shell out tons of money.
Question: the service rep dude, who was more than polite by the way, told me that the car itself is drivable, i.e. just using the conventional motor, I'll just be without the aid of the electric assist. I drove the car home and boy do I miss my electric assist! It felt weird being stopped at a traffic light with the engine running...
Anyway, I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable folks here at the forum: will I be doing any damage to the car if I'm driving the car in its current state?
All right all, thanks for reading.
