Apparently, some of the batteries in second generation Honda Civic hybrids, which went into production 5 years ago, are failing prematurely. To extend the life of the batteries, Honda has developed a free software fix for the 2006 – 2008 Civic hybrids affected which Honda told the Times is designed to improve the car’s performance.
The software fix, the Times says, ".. tunes the Honda hybrid system, known as Integrated Motor Assist, to limit cycling the battery, which means the electric motor often won’t kick in to give an added power boost when accelerating. It also curtails how often the gasoline engine will shut down when the car is at rest, such as at a red light, a key fuel-saving feature in hybrids."
