2016 Ford Fusion Energi Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi might seem simple, but the correct approach ensures the root cause is resolved.

At David McDavid Ford in TX, our technicians use Ford OEM diagnostic equipment to read and clear codes only after performing guided tests. This guarantees the underlying issue — whether an EV system anomaly, sensor failure, or software update — is fixed rather than masked.

Using genuine Ford parts and factory procedures delivers reliability and helps maintain resale value.

2016 Ford Fusion Energi Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on the 2016 Ford Fusion Energi often relate to hybrid battery management, oxygen sensors, EV charge control, and catalytic efficiency. In practice, codes like P0A80 (hybrid battery pack fault), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), or P0420 (catalyst system efficiency) signal different levels of urgency. Left unfixed, a P0A80 can lead to reduced electric range and expensive battery repairs; P0135 can reduce fuel economy and increase emissions; P0420 left unchecked may damage the catalytic converter and lead to much higher costs. At David McDavid Ford in TX our certified technicians diagnose these codes with precision, explain repair options, and outline how timely service delivers both immediate and long-term savings. Choosing our dealership means access to trained Ford technicians, OEM replacement parts, and repairs performed to warranty standards — any warranty work must be completed at a certified dealer to remain valid.
