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.
