This thread will end up being extremely helpful. My wife's 2005 Hybrid just hit 97k miles and I'm worried we're going to have to do some heavy maintenance soon.

Gettinscurvy,

Please do what I did with my 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid; go to the dealer and see if they offer any assistance towards the replacement of the IMA pack. My dealer was able to offer me (after contacting the area manager for Honda) half price off the total battery pack and installation. it's worth a try and you won't know until you try.
Good luck

You should have a good volt/ohm meter and know how to use it and some miscellaneous tools.

You should make sure Honda replaces your pack, not you!

Seems to me that Honda should be replacing since they expanded the warranty period. http://www.obdclearinghouse.com/inde...t_file&id=1633
