2021 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Codes

In Jacksonville, Coggin Ford Jacksonville frequently sees several common diagnostic codes for the 2021 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid. Typical trouble codes include oxygen sensor faults (which reduce fuel economy and can damage emissions systems), EV battery or charging-system alerts that can limit electric range, and catalyst efficiency codes that, when ignored, may lead to expensive converter replacement.
