Depends on failure mode. If the IBS sensor is malfunctioning, the wires disconnected etc, a light in the dash will show up (if I remember correctly, the ABS dashlight lights up, because it is part of safety components). Often, making sure that all wires are tight and secure is enough to fix the issue.

If the IBS is indeed fried, the car would not start, but all electrical devices would work anyway.
