2005 HCH Issue
Hello.
I noticed my 12 volt battery draining down because of the cold climate and cheap battery. I took it out and charged it and put it back in to only have a check engine light come on, the OBD plug not work, and, IMA system stay in limp mode. What the hell is wrong? Thanks |

Re: 2005 HCH Issue
I feel like you're leaving something out. You're saying you replaced your 12V and now everything is wrong with the car. The chances of that are fairly remote. I suspect you're omitting detail PRIOR to the 12V replacement (cold and cheap don't necessarily mean a 12V issue) as well DURING replacement.
Assuming you're not misleading us (or yourself):

Re: 2005 HCH Issue
Okay. Still important to execute steps 1-4.
If you're using a non-professional grade scanner, then there are codes that can't be read with a cheap-o. You may need a professional grade scanner. If you have O'Reilly in your area, I highly recommend them. They use Bosch brand code readers that are very effective in pulling hybrid codes. HOWEVER, the operators are still problematic. Make sure your car is either running or the key is fully on, not acc. Questions:

Yes I have done steps one through four as you mentioned.Over the past two weeks the battery in the car has been running down to the point I have to charge it out of the car. Once it was charged, the car would run fine. No issues with the IMA whatsoever. But then a few days later it would run down again. Now Ilive in a cold area where there is lots of snow and cold weather.I thought maybe it was the battery taking a beating in the cold weather. The 12volt light came on once when the battery was low so I charged itand it went off. At this moment the car will turn on with the check engine light on and the scanner port not reading the scanner. I hooked up the scanner to my wife pilot and it worked with no issues. The car feels like it is in safe mode. I cant go past 40 and the IMA appears to be in safe mode as well.

So, you did a load test on the new battery? You replaced your (-) battery cable? Check all fuses in interior and under-hood fuse boxes. |

If you paid less than several hundred dollars for your code reader, you need to go to O'Reilly.
