Diagnosing why the engine won't

start falls into two areas, depending

on what you hear when you turn the

ignition switch to the START (III)

position:

You hear nothing, or almost

nothing. The engine's starter

motor does not operate at all, or

operates very slowly.

You can hear the starter motor

operating normally, or the starter

motor sounds like it is spinning

faster than normal, but the engine

does not start up and run.

Nothing Happens or the Starter

Motor Operates Very Slowly

When you turn the ignition switch to

the START (III) position, you do not

hear the normal noise of the engine

trying to start. You may hear a

clicking sound, a series of clicks, or

nothing at all.

Check these things:

Check the transmission interlock.

The transmission must be in Park

or neutral or the starter will not

operate.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON

(II) position. Turn on the

headlights, and check their

brightness. If the headlights are

very dim or do not come on at all,

the battery is discharged. See

on page

Jump Starting

2008 Civic Hybrid

Turn the ignition switch to the

START (III) position. If the

headlights do not dim, check the

condition of the fuses. If the fuses

are OK, there is probably

something wrong with the

electrical circuit for the ignition

switch or starter motor. You will

need a qualified technician to

determine the problem. See

Emergency Towing

If the headlights dim noticeably or

go out when you try to start the

engine, either the battery is

discharged or the connections are

corroded. Check the condition of

the 12 volt battery and terminal

connections (see page

can then try jump starting the

vehicle from a booster battery

Flashing ignition "immobilizer" light - system code "c-1": with low battery voltage, or a disconnected or "dead" battery, vehicle cannot be started, either by "jump starting" or replacing the 12v car battery. This is due to a defect, in all "j VIN" Civic Hybrids, on the micu board located in the under-dash fuse relay box. Defect results in the electronic key codes being lost with low or no 12v ignition system voltage. The only remedy is to have the car towed to an authorized Honda dealer to have all keys (car comes with 3 sets of keys) reprogrammed to the ignition immobilizer system. Only a Honda dealer can perform this operation. Because of this defect, vehicle operator and any passengers can be left stranded and in an unsafe position. The only remedy is to have the car towed to a dealer, if available, to have the immobilizer system reprogrammed. Honda will not allow any other service provider to perform this operation because of security and vehicle theft concerns. Depending on the circumstances of the immobilizer failure, this can be a life threatening safety issue for the vehicle operator, depending on where and when the failure occurs. In addition, routine maintenance or repairs requiring the vehicle battery to be disconnected, will result in an inoperable vehicle and require that the vehicle car keys be reprogrammed, something that would be totally unrelated to the planned maintenance or repair and the key reprogramming would have to be done at only a Honda dealer.

Hi !

I have a 2007 CIVIC HYBRID that was sitting for a 4-5 weeks. Before that we used it almost every single day.
It didn't start up right away and I had to charge the battery.
After that it sat again for another 3 weeks. Same thing, had to charge the battery, then it worked.
Now it was sitting for another 4 weeks and charging the battery DID NOT help anymore.
I took the battery out and had it charging for about 24 hours. The car did not start. All electrical devices seem to start working, but it just won't start.

It keeps clicking , the dashboard lights up, and it felt like it wanted to start up twice, but nothing.
On top of that I have a blinking D now.

Any ideas what I can check next, or what it could be ? Please help !

What would cause a Honda Civic not to start?

The most common reasons a Honda Civic won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.

How do I know if my Honda Civic hybrid battery is bad?

First, you'll probably see a sharp decrease in your miles per gallon (MPG). If you're having to take more frequent trips to the gas station, your battery may be reaching the end of its lifespan. Second, your battery simply may not be holding a charge as long as it once did.

What happens when Honda Civic hybrid battery dies?

When a hybrid car battery starts to die, the car can experience a decrease in fuel economy or it won't hold a charge. When the battery completely dies, the car will be inoperable.

Can Honda Civic hybrid run without IMA battery?

The short answer to this question is “probably”. Your IMA light is most likely telling you that the hybrid battery is in need of maintenance. As long as your 12V battery light is not on, your car will most likely continue to operate without causing long-term harm.
