Hi All. Am just posting a little question here because if anyone will know, You guys will. And I cannot wait to speak to my dealer tomorrow as it is bugging me..

Purchased a Civic IMA Exec Yesterday, Is used and just over 3 years old.
Seems it was heavily used previously because it has 88000 miles on the clock.
I was driving it for the first time and waiting for it to warm up so I could check out the Engine cut off feature. I think it is really cool to sit silently at traffic lights etc and save fuel on sitting idle.

Anyway. No engine cut off. So reading the manual for all the special conditions required, Turned all fans auto, Using ECON button, Trying everything but no engine idle cut off.

When turn ignition key, all lights on dash illuminate including the auto stop etc. Cannot find any reason why the Auto stop is not working.

So Today I think to myself maybe it is a fuse. So back to the manual and find the fuse box and fuses for IMA. Checked IMA Fuse under hood (Bonet) and thats fine. Pull the IMA fuse under the Steering Column, Thats fine. Put both fuses back as I found them also I removed fuse 16 from under hood fuse box (FI-ECU) I think but put it back too.

Then went to start car again and the System Fault Yellow light is on and staying on. IMA is working fine, Charging, Assist etc all ok, Still no Engine cut off.

The only difference is Yellow light!!

Anyone have any ideas?
My theory is, The engine cut off system has a fault but for some reason the yellow light was somehow either disabled of was not responding to the fault..

ALSO, Is this covered by Honda Hybrid warranty?

I got a Hybrid for two reasons.
1, Because every penny I do not give to the Greedy B A s @ rd British Government in Fuel Duty makes me smile just that little bit more.
2, I seem to have gone all enviromental since I worked out how much I have helped the enviroment setting up my little website at www.clp300.com
So saving the enviroment actually makes and Saves money?? WOW
