What is your question?
My daughters car had been running fine. Her check engine light came on and she had a code of P0139, P1601, P1456... she said her air stop working a few days ago then the car started making a loud noise( sound like a belt to me). The sound also seemed to be coming from a hose connected to where you put Freon. She crunk it earlier that morning but when we went back to listen to the noise again , the car wouldn't start. Any idea what's going on? In info would help. Thanks in advance.
How long has your 2005 Honda Civic had this problem?
Check engine light was on maybe a month or less... the air stop working about a week ago and the car wouldnt start for about 2- 3 days now

Hello, 1601 is the battery, and the other two reflect emissions components like a gas cap, evaporative emissions (fuel tank and lines mostly) or oxygen sensor issue. The battery may be causing those issues because it is not allowing the powertrain control module to operate properly. The moral, deal with the battery first. The battery is charged by an AC/DC (not the band) converter,. The 240v batery (hybrid system) is AC (three phase) and the 12v battery is DC. The 12v battery runs all the normal systems in the car, including everything to do with engine and emissions. The 240v battery runs the hybrid system, starts the engine, charges the 12v battery. Have the 12v battery tested, but whatever you do, don't drain the 240v battery to zero... again... it starts the engine, and the engine running charges the 240 battery. Therefore, if you let the 240v battery die, the 12v battery will only let the accessories start in the car. When the 12v battery dies, the accessories will stop working. Pain in the butt, right? Be very careful what you do with the 240v system. it isn't worth being shocked.
