Yes. Call to SC to tow your car to Honda Service Center for checking. It's FREE if your are covered by panel recognized by HIP . Good Luck !!!!

I am hoping to see this before march 2nd. You lucky if battery fail. If ima fail, no cover.

Need to change hybrid battery which cost around RM7K. Warranty 4 years for the new battery and but i need to send my car to authorized dealer to service for the next 4 years then only the warranty is valid. If send outside workshop service, warranty void. Mean new battery also no warranty. Anyone here know anyway to buy new hybrid battery cheaper?

Wah...so fast. What's yr mileage and car build which year?

damn that's quite expensive.

may I know how long you had the car?
what could cause the IMA hybrid battery to fail after certain years/mileage?

I think it's better if you replace it at official SC because you get the additional 4 years warranty but obviously you need to go service at the SC of course.

investing in hybrid technology sure cost a bomb, but I am sure you had everything calculated & factored in before you buy the car yes?

Mines is 2013 Civic Hybrid.

The hybrid battery is warranty is 8 years unlimited mileage. You should be able to claim warranty

Warranty till Jan only. Just over 1 month. Haiz....

You should try and appeal to Honda. Tell them just over one month and MCO

Sifus....similar to blu3hamm3r earlier posting dated Mar 3, my civic hybrid this morning suddenly shown 3 fault notifications - Check Battery Charging, Check Brake and Check IMA System...

does anyone know what is the most likely cause of the problem and if your car had undergone similar repairs, which workshop did you send to in Klang Valley and how much was the cost...

many thanks for your kind reply..

How old is your Civic? Most likely it the hybrid battery. My sister and mum had the civic hybrid both batteries failed with the same error codes. However both replaced under warranty as it happened just before 8 years which is still covered by the warranty.

ohh i see...mine is almost oredi 10 years old...now trying to get free insurance tow truck service to send it to Tee & Tee Electrical W'shop...

just to share with other Sifus on my earlier Check System Charging, Brake & IMA fault messages on the dashboard...

upon towing my car to Tee & Tee Auto Electrical w’shop at Klang which took about almost 1 ½ hr from Cheras, a quick scanning for the fault codes by one of the Technician revealed my battery pack had oredi kong….

the w’shop owner, David Tee, had ‘congratulated’ me as this type of failure is much easier to be repaired in comparison to a failed power inverter unit…

in view of my car value is now about $20-25K (for trade-in price) or $35K (for selling price direct to buyer), have decided to go for a refurbished batter pack which costs $3,500 inclusive of labour and 18 months warranty…

repair time took about 1 day and upon driving back to Cheras, noticed the car torque/acceleration is not as responsive as the original battery…need to press pedal lower…however, this situation is not encountered if gear position is shifted from ‘D’ to ‘S’ mode…ie. still as ‘powerful’ as ori battery..

nonetheless, with the refurbished battery pack, engine start-stop performance has greatly improved (ie. compared to the ‘dying’ old ori battery) which is now very smooth / effortless…

first impression upon reaching the Tee & Tee Auto Electrical front w’shop was that it is a typical grease-laden floor w’shop…but surprise surprise, behind that premise is a modern hybrid car w’shop which is spotlessly clean and is equipped with electronic instrumentations…at the front corner is a room which i guess is the electronics repair workstation..

back to the power inverter issue, had consulted with David Tee and his elder brother Mr Tee where it appears a refurbished unit will not be reliable as a brand new unit…hence, only 1 – 2 months of warranty will be given for a recond inverter repair job…

as a guesstimate, a recond inverter may last less than a year, or for a year, or probably more than a year…hence, the Tee’s have recommended to get a new inverter unit if we wish to drive our hybrid car for a ‘longer’ time..

finally, have consulted a repairer named Muslim Meskam from Hybrid Battery Repair Malaysia facebook group and also a workshop called Workshop Tepi Balai – WTB where they had advised the main cause of failure of the power inverter unit is due to its IGBT component..

similarly, WTB could only offer 1 mth warranty for an inverter repair job while En Meskam no longer provide such service due repeated IGBT failures after conducting the repairs (pls refer to below screenshot of his messages)
