Ford fusion 2010 hybrid electric mode not operating any more 

I love my car and I'm getting there (10 years). Thanks for the tip guys!

Thank You!!! I have been dealing with the problem for about a year now. My 2010 fusion acts exactly like the video you presented. I went to my mechanic who tried to fix the problem when it started, but couldn't using the ford software, he will try to follow your direction to remedy the issue.

I had the same issue with my 2010 Fusion, EV mode was limited for almost a year until I decided to Google to avoid the $tealership. Found same info on a Ford forum with screens hots to follow. I picked up a $24 scanner from Amazon, downloaded the free Forscan software and fixed in ^10 minutes. It was super easy and I felt like I had a brand new car! I read many horror stories of people getting frustrated with mechanics and dealers that had no clue. I was still shocked to learn that Ford does not share this information with all Hybrid owners to let them know that EV function will become almost completely disabled at the ^10 yr mark. I'm back to 41-43 mpg/700 mi range and loving my 11 yr old baby!

Thank you so much guys , thank God I got my AV mode back. Very happy with it.

The age counter disables the battery regardless of condition in order for the owner to force a checkup to confirm the condition of the system. I haven't heard of a battery failure yet. There are 12 year old escape hybrids running original battery's in the nyc taxi system with a half million miles on them. As long as the parameters in the live data looks good ..reset age and go!

Worked like a charm ! Wowwww tried on 2010 fusion hybrid, it was barely running on battery now it just like day 1 just want to see how long will this last

I ordered a ELM327 to use with the forscan, soon arrive and I tried I will report here. Thanks a lot I get my fusion one month ago, he are hybrid 2010 81k miles, in good conditions, the battery charge good he is not runinng in ev mode, he just go in ev mode when i am stopped or braking. I think this will fix my fusion I will be very happy thanks to share all this information.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍

I am not sure if you may get this, but at 8:13 on the video, it says to put the car in On position. You have to put the Car in On position at the begging to connect Forscan to the Vehicle. I'm confused. Did you Turn the Car completely on? Thanks

Thank you Joel for the video...This is the solution, Here's a link to help you DYS ... www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/19361-my-instructions-on-restoring-the-hybrid-ev-function-on-the-ford-fusion-hybrid-approaching-the-89-years-mark/?tab=comments#comment-109239 I bought my ELM 327 on eBay for 27 bucks... sent the new battery back... glad I found this before doing the installation... Thank You again Joel

After you change the bettery age do you have to reset it or something

Did it! it took a few hours to figure it out . The hardest thing was getting the driver for the BBFLY reader, but with the tutor given here ) www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/19361-my-instructions-on-restoring-the-hybrid-ev-function-on-the-ford-fusion-hybrid-approaching-the-89-years-mark/) the software for Forescan was not that hard if you use the instruction on the site. Getting 37mpg after a few minutes of driving !.

I like this video, how can I get intouch with this guy, he said the owner replaced the battery, I would like to know where the battery was bought and what state he is.

I had the same issue with my 2010 at 44K miles

Avery good video Joel.What year hybrid was it? When I try to reset the age it says the vehicle doesn't support that function. I'm using a Launch scanner on a 2011 Lincoln MKZ hybrid.

I need help with this asap

How can i buy that scanner tool at the end of your video

When you were driving in the beginning, you know that the car and hybrid system were not warmed up enough to operate normally, right? The little icon on the far left turns green when the hybrid system is ready to operate properly. Not saying yours is running correctly, but that was not a good example

What type of reader scanner do I need

Thanks for the video . can i do it with any scan tool or reset the ev mode age without scan tool at all . ????

how can i program the throttle body? can you check the evap system with this software??? help plz my hybrid is barely getting 15mpg i know ev needs to be restored but 15mpg is drastic and power lost which makes me believe theirs alsp something wrong with the evap i also believe theirs a rod knock but theirs no codes and electric motor says it okay but it defiently sound like rod knocking

Can i do this using the forscan app on an android tablet, it costs $8 so I don't want to buy if it won't work. Thank you so much for making this video, really nice thing for you to share with everyone 🙂

hi Joel I have a 2010 Milan hybrid seems to be the same problem we have replaced the battery and yet still it won't go into EV mode it gives me a battery high low voltage and also a charge code P0562 and u3003 can you please tell me what unit you used to reset it and what I need to connect it to the computer like you did so I get the correct equipment it has already been to three mechanics and I have nearly a thousand dollars in bills from different things that have been replaced I know from talking to mechanics it doesn't seem anyone has tried to do this and I really don't want to bring it back to somebody and ask ive paid till it hurts! if you can please give me the information I will attempt to do it myself after seeing the success in your video thank you very much Chris Novo

Do you have any recommendations for a budget scanner that I can use to perform this and what app on my phone can I use?

What scanner did you use in the end

Hi, I don’t think this has anything to do with your video but I was wondering if there was any way I could disable the auto shut off on my 2010 Ford fusion hybrid. I can’t stand when I stop the car and it shuts off is there anyway I can disable this? Thank you.

will it work for 2012 same car ??

i have a 2010 milan hybrid, had simple work done, the guy who did the work either let my battery and it needed to be replaced, from what he told me he tried to put a regular car battery in it and then realized it was the wrong battery. long story short i got my car back and EV mode will not come on, i dont know if i have to do something to get it back or maybe he messed something else up from doing that.

What does "high voltage batter rebalance" do? I have a HT200 from autel and it gives me this option. I also ordered the laptop obd cable to reset the year but i'm curious of the rebalance option in my HT200.

Joel how can I contact you?

I changed the battery age but it didn't work

I own a 2010 FFH that I purchased in Spring of 2009. My Fusion Hybrid currently has about 172,000 miles on the original hybrid battery and powertrain. The hybrid battery still seems to fully recharge, but I can no longer drive in HEV mode. Since the hybrid battery seems to be functioning okay, can I just reset the battery age to zero in the BECM to restore full HEV driving mode?

My car is doing the same thing I have the same car how much do you charge for this service, and can any mechanic do it??

What was the scanner he used at the end, where can you get it.

I need the same thing
