2016 Ford Fusion Energi Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi often include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), catalytic efficiency alerts, EV battery or charging system codes unique to plug-in hybrids, and occasional evaporative emissions (EVAP) issues from a loose fuel cap. If left unaddressed, O2 sensor failures can lower fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter—leading to higher repair costs and possible emissions test failure. EV battery or charger faults can reduce electric range and impose costly battery repairs if ignored. EVAP leaks may seem minor but will trigger ongoing emissions warnings and can affect driveability. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, our technicians diagnose each code with factory-calibrated scanners and outline repair costs and consequences of delay, emphasizing immediate and long-term savings from correct, OEM repairs. We provide clear comparisons to independent estimates and often deliver better value while maintaining Ford factory standards.
