Check Engine Light Flashing

When the check engine light is flashing on your 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid it typically indicates an active misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven.

At Coggin Ford Jacksonville our service lane is equipped to perform priority diagnostics for flashing codes, using OEM scanners and procedures tailored for hybrid systems. We explain findings, provide transparent estimates, and advise whether a short-term tow is safer to prevent further damage.

Common check engine light codes for the 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171 (system too lean), and various oxygen sensor or EVAP codes.
