The IMA indicator can come up for a number of different reasons with the most common being a deteriorating hybrid battery. You have to take the vehicle to an agent and read the actual error code to diagnose the problem.

The 12v battery indicator coming up usually means that the 12v battery is not getting charged by the IMA system. There can be a number of reasons for this but you need the error code to properly troubleshoot the problem.

From where did you replace the hybrid battery from? Did they do any software updates when the battery was replaced? In any case find out what the error code is.

A bit confusing why the battery pack was replaced to solve what looks to have been an EPS issue. 

But yeah, a diagnostic scan will reveal the error.

FD3s with a YOM before 2010 has that famous IMA issue. (Battery failing prematurely). Honda fixed the issue with a software update meaning you have to UPDATE the IMA software with the new battery pack. (Actually you could have avoided the issue altogether if you updated the software before the original battery failed)

Did you update the IMA software?
