2012 Civic Hybrid IMA light, Check engine, Brake light,12V battery light all came on
Asked by GuruH9V96 Jun 29, 2019 at 12:11 PM about the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid FWD with Leather
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My son was driving in town when all the lights came on, IMA, check engine,
brakes, 12 volt battery, etc. The car lost power steering, power brakes, etc.
Pulled into a parking lot and everything went dead. next day I bought a new
12v battery and it started and drove 8 miles home. All warning lights are still
on and the new battery is losing power. Do I need a new Hybrid battery. I
purchased a Zurich ZR-13 code reader / scanner today to see if any codes
are present. All I receeived was one on the ABS and 3 on the DTC.

Same thing just happened to my 2012 Civic. What action did you take on this issue, go to a dealership or just a regular auto repair shop? Thanks
I’m having the same issue. Can either of you share what the fix was? Thanks.
Same problem can some body help us
Update: the dealer has told me that I have a bad inverter. A $4k fix. I’m currently trying to find a work-around for this problem, maybe a way to bypass the inverter and/or hybrid system to just run on gas. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated, thanks!
This happen to me.if your ima 2 fuse blows under the hood. It is your hybrid battery fan. Email me at xaviermh20@gmail.com and I'll show u exacly how to fix it. I'll show u step by step pictures!!!!
After 8 months of doing everything under sun I figured it out for myself. Totals research time months. Total parts $70 bucks. Total labor for me to do it once I figure out what was wrong. 2 hours. 3 to 4k saved just like that
GuruFMQ58 , what did you find?
Hey can u tell me what u did to bypass the issue
GuruFMQ58 - Very curious too. My car also went out tonight. Started up fine. Drove out to pick up something down the road. Came back home. Tried to start it up again but warning lights to check brake system, abs, etc came on. Headlights and interior still turn on, but the car won't start. I also have issues with only the driver-side window which won't roll up or down. All 3 other windows work fine. I hope this gets to you or someone who can help!
Update: I just needed a jump. Drove around for about 45 mins on the highway to recharge the battery and everything is good now.
