Honda Civic Hybrid battery replacement

Honda Civic Hybrid IMA battery diagnosis, repair and replacement across the Phoenix metro. IMA is a mild hybrid — the motor assists the engine and never drives the car alone — so the symptoms and the codes are different from a Prius.

Symptoms Civic Hybrid owners report

  • The car feeling flat under acceleration while still driving normally.
  • The IMA charge and assist bars moving quickly, or the assist bar not filling at all.
  • The IMA warning light, or the check engine light with an IMA code behind it.
  • Fuel economy dropping over a few months.
  • Auto stop no longer shutting the engine off at lights.

The codes behind an IMA light

  • P1570 — battery module individual voltage problem.
  • P1446 — battery module individual voltage input deviation.
  • P1449 — battery module overheating or deterioration.
  • P1575 — motor power inverter module voltage problem, which is the inverter side, not the pack.
  • P0A7D — state of charge low, common after a car has been parked for weeks.

Get the full code list in writing

P1575 points at the inverter rather than the battery, and P0A7D often follows a car sitting. Ask which codes were stored before you authorise a pack.

Honda Civic Hybrid hybrid battery questions

How much does a Honda Civic Hybrid battery cost?
The pack price for this vehicle is listed on this page. In the Phoenix metro installation is included at our shop; mobile install at your home or workplace adds $250.
Can a Civic Hybrid IMA battery be repaired rather than replaced?
On the nickel-metal hydride cars it can be, but IMA packs are less tolerant of mixed cells than Toyota packs, so a matched set matters more here. We'll tell you when a repair won't hold.
Is the Civic Hybrid battery the same as an Insight's?
No. The 2010–2014 Insight uses seven double sticks at 100.8V; the 2006–2011 Civic Hybrid uses eleven at 158.4V. Different packs.
