P1629 Battery Current Sensor Circuit Malfunction
What does P1629 mean on a Honda?
P1629 — Battery Current Sensor Circuit Malfunction. This Honda-enhanced code applies to Insight, Civic Hybrid with IMA.
Common causes of P1629
- Failed battery current sensor inside the IMA battery box
- Open or shorted current sensor signal wiring
- Corroded sensor connector from battery vent gases
- Deteriorated IMA battery skewing current readings
- Blown fuse in the battery module sensor circuit
How to fix P1629
- Inspect the battery current sensor connector for corrosion
- Test sensor signal voltage against Honda HDS data list values
- Check the sensor wiring for opens or shorts to ground
- Evaluate overall IMA battery health since a failing pack stresses the sensor
- Replace the sensor after confirming the circuit is intact
