Need help! ITA engine light on

I know nothing about hybrids and need to hear your thoughts. I recently bought a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid, everything runs great but the ITA engine light is on. I took it to my mechanic and he said the OBDII code (didnt get exact code # from him) for the Hybrid Battery Control Module popped. He believes I need a new Hybrid battery control module and/or possibly a new hybrid battery.

The car runs great and seems to charge and assist when driving. The battery appeared to charge to 100% while driving home. I haven't driven the car in 5 days, but now the battery is down to two bars. Does this mean the battery is still good and should only replace the battery control module? Thoughts?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Go to your dealership. See if the IMA battery is still covered by the warranty extension.
