When the Check Engine light is also lit, the most common problem is the Hybrid Battery. You can actually have this confirmed by having the &#8220;p-codes&#8221; (diagnostic trouble codes) read from the on-board computer. Most local &#8220;big chain&#8221; parts stores, like AutoZone, will do this for Free (except in California). These p-codes will point to the faulty part\/sensor. So, if it is a problem with the Hybrid Battery, this will confirm. If there is another problem somewhere, the p-codes will serve as the starting point for the diagnosis, and you can more accurately determine the root of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>If it does confirm there is a problem in the Hybrid Battery, Honda is currently having a &#8220;Battery Exchange Program&#8221;. Only remanufactured IMA battery modules are available for repair; new units are not available. Any internal failure requiring IMA battery module disassembly qualifies for this program. This bulletin applies to all Honda IMA batteries, both in-warranty and out-of-warranty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 2008 Honda Hybrid has check engine light and ima light still lighting while driving.
