CUSTOMER CONCERN
The IMA warning light is on with DTC P1586. The engine shuts off during auto stop but will not restart with the IMA motor; the conventional starter still cranks and starts the engine.
CAUSE
Inspection confirmed the IMA motor-stator bolts had backed out, allowing the stator to bind against the rotor magnet.
CORRECTION
Remove the transaxle and replace the damaged IMA motor stator, then verify IMA cranking and auto-stop restart operation.
