Honda Accord Hybrid Engine Questions
Hi
The other day it took 2 tries to get the engine started on my 05 HAH. On the first try I hardly turned the key enough and didn't hold it so maybe it wasn't really a "fair attempt". On the second attempt it started fine, except the battery-charge-warning, IMA-warning, and check-engine lights come on
I'm not sure if the lights were a side effect of the first half-hearted start attempt, or the failure to start the first time was because of the problems indicated by the lights
On the next restart, the battery-charge and IMA lights went out but check-engine light stayed on. Now the check-engine light has also gone out.
Does that mean there are no OBD codes to pull and I'm all OK, or should I still get the dealer to take a look (and charge me the $100 diagnostic fee )
Auto-Stop seems to working normally, with the IMA battery level indicator going up-and-down as usual (never below 50% throughout all this).
There were thunderstorms just before all this happened - maybe they caused an temporary glitch ?
Comments/Suggestions ?

You might get a better response under the hybrid forums, or the maintenance forum for the year 2005 Honda Accord. Good Luck. See you there!
