Just a word of warning The voltage is not a good way to determine SOC with NIMH cells, as it is very temperture and load dependant. This is why the Insight BCM...
Great, as soon as I'm smart enough to start buying my RE92's at Costco, they stop stocking them. Futhermore, they won't install any other tires on my car, nor...
Thanks. Thats good to know I ran my pack down till it would give no more assist and measured the voltage and got 150 V, but this was not under load so I...
Wow...3 sets in 98k miles...that's crazy. I'm getting toward the end of my 2nd set, at 140k miles, and I drive in PA! You must ride on some rough roads! :-o ...
... Have you had your alignment checked? Or do you drive it like a race car? Mike South Central WI OSBM CVT '03 HCH #002870 77K miles 45.30 LMPG (at the pump)...
Agree! At 102K I'm halfway through my second set! Surprised about Costco. Dick/Christine ... From: Jim Holmgren To: honda-hybrid@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Well, at 73K my IMA warning light has come on. The car is running normally; I still have assist, regen and autostop. I take it in Thursday. Anyone have a...
Alignment has been checked, probably twice. I think I have lifetime alignment, so maybe I'll go squeeze Wheelworks again for some free labor, but I doubt...
I am on my 4th set at 133k. also buy them a costco. they wear normally. I drive mostly freeway, no more stop and go, car pool lane all the time. I buy them ...
My IMA light has been on for a couple of weeks. Is this a Warning Light? I find nothing different, except perhaps at first a little better mpg at first. I...
... This is the first HCH IMA problem that I recall hearing about. Let's hope that this isn't the start of problems similar to those experienced by early...
... Most definitely! ... The IMA warning light illuminates because some measurement in the IMA system is out-of-spec. There seems to be some uncertainty about...
... My surprise is that Bridgestone would continue to make the 165/65R14 RE92 and that anyone would continue selling it considering that only around 12,000...
That's not it. I went through that just recently. The CEL went on. Took it to the dealer and HE found the loose gas cap problem. For the gas cap triggers...
At 78361 miles, my IMA light came on. (I have an Insight.) Honda's diagnosis was Control Unit/Battery Monitor Inoperatable. Still had assist, charging and...
I would recommend using the dealer recommended tires and alignment specs on hybrids. Most vehicles have lower torque that builds as the car starts and ...
I put them on GEM golf cars. I've done 4 with them so far and even though you go faster due to the larger overall diameter the range stays about the same due...
I couldn't find any other car that uses them, at least in the US. Seems to be plenty of webhits from overseas. We must just have too many SUV's and not enough...
This evening the IMA warning light went off (while driving) after about 60 miles and one day from coming on. I was to take it in to the dealer tomorrow...
... When something similar happened to me, I kept my service appointment. The service manager told me that the diagnostic code that caused the IMA light to...
Had the PGM-F1 software on my Accord updated yesterday as requested by Honda. Any idea what that is supposed to improve? I don't think that my battery assist...
Mike, The lmpg reading is 66.9 My guess is that at some point mechanical conditions may have caused the average to dip somewhat and after upgrades it may have...
I'm considering the purchase of an '03 HCH with 85k miles on it and would like to know if there is a history of battery failures around this age or shortly...
