Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing simultaneous illumination of the Check Engine and IMA lights, which may indicate various issues related to the engine or the Integrated Motor Assist system. This occurrence often suggests a problem detected by the onboard diagnostic system concerning the engine or emissions system, as well as potential issues within the hybrid IMA system. Owners are cautioned that the simultaneous activation of both lights could signify a serious problem that requires immediate attention to avoid costly repairs. Additionally, high mileage on the vehicle may exacerbate wear and tear on components, increasing the likelihood of such issues. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address any underlying problems.
