17 HATCH ACCESS The Insight rear hatch differs from many Honda models because there is no mechanical linkage between the hatch release on the outside of the vehicle and the actual latch. The exterior latch release is actually a switch that operates a hatch opener relay. A hatch release motor is operated by the relay. The hatch opener switch and hatch unlock (key) switch are both in series with the relay. If the battery is discharged or disconnected, the hatch must be opened manually by use

IMA Motor Rotor The rotor of the IMA motor is highly magnetic. Consequently, all iron, magnetic and electronic materials must be kept away from the rotor if it is to be replaced. The rotor should not be handled by people with a pacemaker or other similar med

20 SERVICE CONNECTORS The Insight uses an industry standard OBD-II onboard diagnostics system. This system allows standard OBD-II diagnostic tools (including OBD-II software and connector cable available for Windows PCs; see below) to be connected to the Insight's engine control computer. This allows access to a wide range of real time performance and status information from the Insight. It also allows access to the log of any "DTC" codes that the computer records when the "Check Engine L
