My check engine light came on and hasn't turned off yet. I have a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid with almost 80k miles on it. Also, as I was driving I came to stop and needed to reverse. I put the car in reverse and the oil check light and the battery light came on and the car wouldn't go in reverse. I had to turn the car off and then back on. The oil and battery lights went out, but the check engine light is still on. Help?

is the gas motor shutting off when you drive? it sounds like you are driving on the gas motor alone

fixya, hybrid fixes.. wow......
double posted too,,,, back up one.

wendy dont fiddle about in any hybrid, there is High voltage there
lethal as H3LL. nor with Air bags, Read the FSM. first.
and post engine RPM at low oil pressure, and dont drive it.

Error Code: P0A7F/78.
Description: Battery module deterioration.
Solution:
-Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the battery
module, the battery current sensor, and the BCM module.

Yes, has the IMA light come on yet? In my experience that led us to having to purchase the new hybrid battery.

I have a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid and have had hell with it. I have also learnt much about it too.

One thing bad about the HCH2, is that the 12V battery controls the electronics, and the Hybrid battery charges the 12V battery. However the 12V battery is not charged all the time, and cannot be charged when the IMA is usually being used, and in different scenarios. (Buy a Electronic volt meter which plugs into the 12V adapter $14 Walmart))

It is possible that the 12V battery is being drained while driving and caused a voltage drop which can cause your problem. In your case, I would change the 12V battery anyway as they do not last long on Hybrids. (You may have to get Honda to trip the IMA warning lights.) In my case, changing the 12v battery helped the hybrid battery as it was the electronics reporting the charge level wrong.

Depending where you live, you will have a minimum 80,000 mile warranty on the hybrid battery.

it sounds more like that old adage....how long is the piece of string.... i don't think you can ever predict if something will last longer than others, you might buy the hybrid and drive off the forecourt only to have it brake down 2 miles up the road, and vice versa with the normal civic,or they could be looking at 10000000 miles.. they are to be honest just as good as each other, obviously the hybrid is better for the environment and cheaper running cost, but just as all honda's they are both very reliable, i truly think you should toss that coin of fate and see what side it lands, either way your a winner..hope this helps...sorta lol

good day Sir, try to check the air filter and oil filter i hope it will solve your problem.

Take it to a autozone and have them pull the codes and tell you what is happening, it is most likely a 02 sensor not functioning properly. But have the codes pulled right away, andthey can tell you what it might be then post the codes here then we can tell you if you should wait or not. better safe than sorry. If you drive it and it brakes and you knew the light was on and di not get it checked right away you could void the warrenty.

check for vacuum leak

I would reccomend taking this vehicle to the dealer it is a very precise machine not to mention the potential of serious injury from the high voltage used in this car .
