Yesterday afternoon, in ±35 mph stop-and-go traffic, our IMA light illuminated, followed five minutes later by a Check Engine Light. The SOC dropped to no bars (!) within a quarter mile, all charging activity ceased per the gauge, Auto Stop failed to engage, and the car had only a fraction of its normal power. I drove the car home without further incident (less than two or three miles) and plugged in my ScanGageII (which normally would have been plugged in and I would have been monitoring the thing when the event occurred, but hey, ol' Murphy was an optimist, wasn't he), showing the following two Trouble Codes stored:
P1447 Battery Module Deterioration
P1449 Battery Module Overheating
For you ScanGagers, the Freeze setting showed Water Temp 198°, 1214 RPM, 29mph, IATemp. 98°, MAP psi 3.8, LOD 25, TPS 9... :?
I'm taking it in this weekend for my dealer to play with it, will report as details emerge.
Stats: CVT, 56.6 LMPG, just shy of 40K miles, last year our dealer performed both the Motor Control Module and the Battery Condition Monitor service per the American Honda recall letter with which we're all familiar.
