Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid signals an active fault that may be causing immediate damage—this demands prompt attention. Flashing often indicates misfires, electrical faults, or problems within the hybrid drive system that can reduce electric range (the Fusion Plug-In Hybrid typically delivers about 26 miles of EV range) or strain drivetrain components.

Choosing dealership service means clear estimates, OEM replacement parts, documented warranties, and access to service financing so you can address issues now and avoid compounding costs. We also publish rotating service specials that can lower repair costs. If your light is flashing, do not delay—schedule service or contact us immediately to protect your vehicle and your budget.
2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid is a two-step process: diagnose the cause, then clear codes once repairs or verifications are complete.

We use genuine Ford parts and adhere to factory procedures so warranty terms remain intact; remember that warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for a 2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid include sensor-related codes (like oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor alerts), catalytic system codes, and hybrid-specific codes tied to battery state-of-charge, the power inverter, or charging modules. Each code carries potential costs if left unaddressed: sensor faults can reduce MPG and trigger progressive damage to emissions equipment; charging-system faults may shorten electric range or cause charging failures; hybrid battery degradation or inverter issues are typically higher-cost repairs but are best managed early to minimize replacement scope. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL, our certified technicians interpret codes in context, present repair options with transparent pricing, and explain the long-term savings of using OEM parts and factory repair procedures—this often results in lower overall ownership costs compared with repeat independent repairs.
