#33 of 42 Re: Wrong oil in my hybrid. [targettuning] by tommydog3 Oct 06, 2008 (6:14 pm)
Replying to: targettuning (Oct 03, 2008 5:44 am) Thanks for the info, They probably used proper oil, 0 - 20 wt. But the cost was alot less than usual and my milage does seem to be down. More than likely they just over charged my at the earlier changes.

Replying to: jamriman (Oct 12, 2008 7:13 am) I had several problems this spring, I went and had the regular battery checked and Honda said that it was fine, of course I had just driven 10 miles at highway speed. I had them replace the battery, which it turns out at least for the 06 is about 15% more poerful, less then $100 I think. No problems since. Replies to this message: jamriman (Oct 12, 2008 12:37 pm)

#37 of 42 Engine oil on IMA electric motor cover drain by shekieki Dec 09, 2008 (12:12 am)
Hello! I've got HCH 2003. While changing oil in the engine I noticed that IMA electric motor drain cover was oily. Also there was a little oil on the ground that came from this cover. Is it OK? There is a picture of drain cover-part №2(OEM: 1A226-PHM-300) on the link - http://s59.radikal.ru/i166/0812/7e/7a7123ab6280.jpg or http://ifolder.ru/9378066. It was oily. Drops of oil was on groove of drain cover. If these is surplus which lubricates of IMA electric motor?

#39 of 42 Broken Auto-Stop by gardener777 Sep 30, 2009 (6:00 pm)
Any suggestions how to fix auto-stop? It used to work well, stopping the engine when the car came to a stop. But now the auto-stopmy 2004 Civic hybrid w CVT never operates. The car is run for 40minutes or more with occasional stops, the outside air temp is in the 50-60's, the heat and AC and defrost are off, the battery is usually 3/4 to completely full, and no check engine lights. I tried a can of techron into the fuel tank to see if that would help, thinking maybe the fuel system is impaired delaying the burning of the fuel and hence preventing auto-stop. The RPM's of the car now slow to almost zero, a vague hesitation is noted, then the RPM's go back to the 750 range. I really don't want to go to the dealer and run up a large bill for a car that otherwise runs perfectly. Any other suggestions?

Replying to: gardener777 (Sep 30, 2009 6:00 pm) I have an '05 Hybrid Civic with the same problem. I took it to the dealer and they made it work, but wanted to replace a clutch switch (I do not have the exact part name with me). Once they got it to work (without the new part), it worked for 5 days then stopped working. When I got the new part, it worked for about a week and then stopped working and has not worked for 20 days. I contacted them yesterday and I am probably going to take it back. I'll let you know what I find out.   I think that they want to return the part for another one. Personally, I do do think it is, or was the switch that was the problem. I had an extended warranty so I did not have to pay for this, but my warranty ended a couple of weeks after I had the work done. Replies to this message: gardener777 (Oct 18, 2009 5:51 pm)

Replying to: perrydale (Oct 13, 2009 12:14 pm) Thanks for the reply, perrydale! I've looked at a shop manual for the 2004 Civic hybrid, and found that there is an "idle stop switch" that is attached to the top of the brake pedal. The manual gave instructions for adjustment, but mine seemed to be set properly. Also, there needs to be adequate "vacuum reserve for the power brakes"-I have no idea how to check this. Do let me know what the new part is called. I'll update you about my car sometime in the next few weeks when I may bring it to my local (non Honda) mechanic. Tom
#42 of 42 Auto-stop switch by perrydale Oct 19, 2009 (12:33 pm)
The part is called the "clutch interlock switch". My HCH has a standard transmission.   Mine started working again the day before I was going to take it back in, so I canceled. I'm sure you know this, but make sure the "ECON" button next to the AC button in turned on. I do not think auto-stop will work if it is not on.   Funny you mention the brakes factor. I've noticed that if I am auto-stopped and I put more pressure on the brake pedal, it comes out of auto-stop. So I knew there was a connection with the brakes, but did not know what it was.   perry
