I'm fearing the worst but maybe my battery still has a chance...
I have a '00 that I bought with 135K miles on it. It now has 149K. I've noticed lately that my IMA battery capacity indicator always stays near full, even though I would get only 3-4 bars of assit. Many times in 5th gear I saw no assist as I put my foot down. When this happened I let off the accelerator and depressed it again. Then I would see 3-4 bars for about 5 seconds and it would fade to none.
Even in the lower gears I would get partial assist and it seemed to fade away.
This has gone on for awhile. Last week my IMA and check engine light came on and I have no battery charge indicator bars, no assit.
I'd be greateful for any troubleshooting tips / diagnosis from the group!
Many thanks!
Rob
