Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter

Re: Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter
Now they said they checked everything including the wiring and loose connections but they only came up with a bad circuit board that controls all them components. They said it would cost me between $1200-$1400 and that it could be fixed tomorrow. Sounded a lot better than $3500 so I decided to do it... What if what they're saying is wrong isn't what's wrong and they don't end up fixing my vehicle? They're liable for the $1200-$1400 that I paid correct???

Re: Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter
That would be a first. They're just going to say that once they fixed that part, they were able to discover another failure. Your codes are identical to the other poster, and his fix was a new inverter. They're probably going to come back to you saying you ALSO need a new inverter in addition to what you've already paid. That should put you at about $5K for the repairs.

Re: Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter
good you fixed it
they will never make the part available due to liability issues of opening the pack or inverter
plus they make more money with you replacing the whole thing

I think I might have found where to purchase these @ $ 300.00 a pop. ! Here is the link and my apologies to the Board if I broke any rules just trying to be somewhat helpful. Cheers

Re: Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter
How do you fix it or where you you find the new IGBT I got the same exact problem
Found the problem! I finally decided to take it apart and look further... it’s a blown IGBT
In other news, I was able to find a salvaged part (1B200-RW0-000) from Rochester NY for $325 from a car with 19k miles. i probably made about 20 calls until I finally found someone who had one. I hope to have that tomorrow. In the mean time I will search for replacement IGBTs. Then, with any luck, I’ll have a spare
update... here’s better pics of blown IGBT. Looked for a couple hours trying to find replacement part but it appears to be a custom Honda part. I think Mitsubishi makes the original part similar to PN CT600DJH060 but I can’t figure out how to buy new ones...
There is a publication here with a lot of info. Towards the end of the publication, they mention the J-Series which looks a lot like the part from the inverter.

Re: Civic Hybrid IMA failure - Bad Power Inverter
You try to contact Honda north america and pray they take care of you like they did with me,I put it all back together hell even resoldered the ciruit board back together and took it to the local Honda shop who covered it 100 percent ! No out of pocket. Why you ask? Well thankfully the state I purchased the vehicle in (Oregon) back in 2013 has an emmisions law that extends Hybrid car battery waranties to 7 years or 100k miles which ever comes first so check your state emission laws for possible coverage before attempting a DIY. Lesson learned here but thankfully not an expensive one.
