The IMA battery light should come on if there is a traction battery issue, but make sure the IMA light hasn't been disconnected! When I bought my first one I knew nothing about them, and didn't even know there was an IMA light. Needless to say it had been disconnected and the battery pack was toast. When you first turn the key on, all your dash warning lights will self test (ABS, check engine, etc) make sure you see the IMA one too.
They will run fine with a dead traction battery, a little gutless but mine averaged in the low 50s for MPGs, and that was mostly in town driving where the traction battery would have helped out the most.
