2005 HCH Check Engine and IMA Lights on
Both my Check Engine and IMA Lights on came on today. I took it to the dealer because I was due for an oil change. That did not help. I was on my lunch break and in a hurry, but I asked the cost to check it out. They wanted $175 just to look at it! He also said it was well over $2000 to replace the battery!!!
The guy who changed my oil told me my IMA battery was probably bad.
A friend who owns a body shop told me to hold the odometer button, turn the key on, and continue holding the button for a minute intil the light goes off. It never did go off. He also told me there is no battery, just a capacitor.
I have heard that AutoZone and AAMCO will read the computer codes for free, but I’ve never used either of them.
I need to know if the car is safe to drive. It runs fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.
