    today driving home i started to accelerate and then the ICE died. it stays in hybrid mode only with the battery warning light on, traction control light on, hybrid battery light on. how can i get it out of limp mode? i tried to disconnect the battery and reset that but no luck.

    Has the IPM reflash recall been accomplished on your car?

    I have the same car . Is your 12v the original battery? Check the voltage with a meter. If it’s less than 12 volts, replace. My dash went crazy last year and all it was is the 12v battery.

    Nope. The IPM flash was a service bulletin, a no-cost item and provides an extended warranty.

    Perhaps they want to update your NAV map data?
