Posted by "Richy" on Mon Jul 31, 1:27 (PDT) ... I presume "they" did the updates when you bought it.... not sure what this has to do with your battery problem....
I was wondering if anyone has been getting extraordinarily bad gas mileage (at least for the Insight) since this last battery recall has been performed. My gas...
Your talking you had the BCM and MCM swapped on the product update correct (part of the IMA battery warranty extension)? If so your not alone on this one, read...
Yes, not doing as well as before. With a/c about 40mpg and w/o a/c about 48 mpg. Better at night when it cools off to 75-80 F I check the read-out every 50 ...
Oh geez...that's scary! I guess I won't be in any hurry to let them change mine then. I'd rather get the better gas mileage...and have the battery fail for a...
I've also experienced a drop in mileage since getting MCM, BCM and battery pack replaced. (see my other postings) Previously I would get about 60-62 mpg on a...
40.1 highway and 39.8 city for me. I just called my Honda and let them know I'm not the only one with the drop in mileage or inability to charge, so she's...
I'd demand my old BCM and MCM be re-installed in the car. I think the parts department usually retains them for a little while before they are returned to...
We're talking Insights here, right? 40 mpg highway? I'd have to drive 75 mph in 4th gear to get 40 mpg!! What could a BCM and MCM change possibly do to the...
For me its city and freeway. I'm not running the a/c since last friday when temps dropped off to the high 80s and I'm coasting as much as I can. Filled up at ...
... Sounds horrible. But I'm still wondering how a BCM MCM chnage could do that to the car. In a Honda hybrid, the electric is mostly there to boost power....
It is hard for me to accept that the problem is in the IMA circuitry. I would suspect something else in the engine management system, Clogged air filter,...
... Good question! Some have reported that fuel economy is no worse and can actually be better when the IMA isn't working. The IMA just augments power so...
I'll get in on this. My batteries were replaced in Feb. No great problem after. Had to learn to drive again, as it reacted differently from my previous...
I've waited awhile since the recall replacement of my MCM & BCM (not the battery pack) to report on any noticed change. If there has been any, it's subtle at...
... I still don't understand why your fuel economy isn't higher unless you really drive fast, run the A/C a lot, drive with low tire inflation pressure, etc. ...
... I wonder whether the drop in fuel economy being reported might be due to ethanol being added to gasoline in many places. Any vehicle can use gasoline with...
... Yes the ethanol blend might account for some of this, but not nearly the amount talked about here. A 10% ethanol blend has about 3.5% less energy than ...
00 Insight #1679 178,000 miles is nearing the end of its useful battery life. The transition has been observable over the last few thousand miles and has been...
... going under 70 mpg it is just my theory but all battery charge is derived from running the engine. (yes you get energy coasting downhill but what got you...
Right on , but I have not seen self discharging - so I guess what goes in comes out , and gas mileage should not be effected except that there is a loss of...
Totally off hybrid topic but something tells me this little Insight is not getting 70 MPG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwyVxsJImyc I have no more info about...
Did find some dragster pics and details http://www.sportcompactdragracing.com/boti-fontana-2005.htm (the Insight is on the third row of images) Note the honker...
Has anyone installed one of these? I'm following the instruction from the Insight Central library. I don't understand the directions to slide the Rosta...
While watching the demise of my worn out pack (178,000 miles) I had gotten the IMA light with P1447 OBD2 code , yesterday I got a check engine light P1449 code...
I had the experience in December of 2003 with only 102k miles. I told the dealer's service rep and he told me not to let it get around. My MPG actually ...
When the light comes back on watch closely your 12 volt voltage. the DC/DC will brown out eventually and the car will be running off of the 12 volt battery,...
