Help on the charging system inhibit wire

Hi,

I have a 2005 hybrid civic in HK and experience IMA battery problem and it's extremely difficult to find help here finding used cells pack, repairing or rebuilding one. The HK dealer wouldn't give any help cause they claimed this is not the official selling model. Glad to find this post and trying to recharge the battery now. Anyone would care to suggest how to identify the charging system inhibit wire so I could still drive the car like a normal one just in case I failed to recover the IMA battery. I figure the service disconnect switch is on the IMA battery and please do point out if I am wrong.

Thanks in advance for your kind attention. Your help is greatly appreciated.
