2011 FFH wont start, lots of alarms on dash

Recommended Posts

This morning I tried to start car - CEL light stays on, Traction Control ABS, security light blinks.   Then warnings pop up.  oil pressure low, check charging system, high engine temp, high motor temp, blind spot system fault, cross traffic system fault, low fuel, maintenance wrench symbole, stop safely, service advance track, then repeat of everything.  155k on odometer. 

 

I can't even get the ODB scanner to connect.

 

A brand new battery was installed a week or two ago, and car has been running fine. I have currently unhooked the battery from car.

 

Any idea what to do.

Sounds like a blown pcm fuse maybe, it’s located in the fuse box under the hood not the one under the dash. Here’s a diagram of your fuse box.

But other than that maybe the battery wasn’t connected properly. Idk I’d take it to a mechanic if the fuse doesn’t the issue cause it sounds like an ecu/pcm issue.

Did replacing the fuse solve the non-starting issue as I am experiencing the same thing? 

 

Background: Because of some needed repairs (Valve Cover Gasket) on my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, I have not driven/started it since mid-June and have been driving my pick-up. Last week I was trying to open the trunk and it would not open because the battery was dead. So I charged the battery and started the car and let it run in the garage for about five minutes.  
 
Yesterday I decided I better drive the car again since it had been over two months.  Although the car would "turn on" it would not start and a bunch of warning lights (Wrench, Hybrid Battery, etc,.) appeared/flashed on the left side of the instrument panel. I think the Hybrid battery may be dead (or I may have blown a fuse(s) which will not allow me to start/drive the vehicle. If the Hybrid battery is indeed dead Is there a way to try charge it vs. having it towed to a repair shop?
 
I would much appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Update: On Sept 8, 2025, I inspected the PCM Fuse (#3 - 40A) by pulling it out and comparing it to the 40A fuses. Seeing no difference/damage, I put the fuse back and the car started up as "normal".  Not sure this was the underlying issue but it worked today.

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the PCM Fuse.
