I crossed over 100k miles on my 2010 Fusion Hybrid. I am my coolant ready to do a flush on the ICE and EV coolant systems. The ICE coolant won't be an issue. My concern is I have no clue how to do it on the EV side. I don't know where the to drain it from? And I assume I just fill it through the EV's reservoir? I've looked on google, the owner's manual, and YT and nothing on how to do this. I don't even know the EV's coolant capacity. Could anyone share any info on this?

Take it to another shop. Those guys dont know what they're talking about. Have you replaced the throttle body? That gave me the same "pull over" triangle. It also might be that they didnt simply bleed the system and get all the air out. Air in the system will cause it to overheat.

Where is the drain for the EV motor located? I want to change the coolant on both the ICE and EV motor as it just crossed 100k miles. But I can't find any walk through or video on how to do the EV coolant. The ICE coolant won't be a problem.

Ok, how the are you guys doing the idle reset? I've come across numerous threads of doing this and was hoping i could get a clear answer here.

lol Yeah no way i am selling the house. But will eventually go EV, it will just be for a Ford Lightning. A truck would be much more useful for my hobbies and lifestyle.

I applied Allen's fix as soon as I got the car. It's loving this Florida "winter" and getting better MPG than before. Though I find it weird that the throttle body gets heat soak since the it's right where you want it to be to get proper air flow. But I really like this car. Best MPG I've gotten compared to my other daily drivers - 2009 Accord 4 cylinder & 2014 Camry 4 cylinder. I plan to drive this car until I decide to go full electric. The Ford Lightning is one I am looking at but that won't be on my radar for another couple of years at least

We'll you two were right on the money! mmtphoto, you were right, cleaning it did not work lol it went right back to doing it and it actually may have got worse cause it did it like 5 times on the way to my parents house for Thanksgiving - very dangerous since it was on the hwy and I had to pull to the side several times to turn off the car and turn it back on. So yes, if anyone runs into this thread trying to figure out the same issue, save yourself some time and just replace the throttle body. This is the one I bought from Amazon for ~$70 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LLSC0B2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details The manufacture/brand is ‎TechSmart. Amazon or RockAuto is the cheapest place I could find it - under $75. It is the same product number and brand that O'reilly had when I went to go check, only they were asking about $140. If you need it asap and can't wait for shipping then get it here, otherwise the places I mentioned is the cheapest route. I've already put 100 miles and no code or things of that nature. What a relief. Big thanks to those that helped!

Dang, I am just seeing this. Would cleaning out the TB which TB cleaner work too?

Well guys it did it again this afternoon on the damn hwy no less. Car seems like it goes in limp mode and I can't accurate. Pulled off to the side of the road, turned the car off for 20 seconds, turned it back on and back to normal, even the wrench went away. Drove it the last 30 miles to my parents house without another issue. What the hell could it be? Is it an electrical issue where something is sorting out when it reaches a certain temp? It was in the low/mid 70's in FL this afternoon, so it couldn't have overheated, right? Any ideas?

Well, I went to autozone and used their scan tool. This is what I got It was all associated with the ABS and not the powertrain according to the print out.

Thank you guys!

What electric fans? I assume you're talking about some fans that cool the EV system? Since if it was the fans attached to my radiator, my car would have been overheating, which it wasn't. Currently sitting at 92,000 miles. Both coolant reservoirs are at the appropriate fill levels. Though, I wouldn't mind changing both out with some new stuff (one of the few fluids I haven't changed since I bought the car). Is there a thread on how to change the EV coolant for these cars? Or hell, even a how-to for the ICE one too would be nice. I will go to see if any codes are showing up.

I removed my a-pillar only i broke the dang tab. Looks like this now (not my pic)

Will there still be a code although the wrench went away? I'll take it tomorrow to Autozone and see what they say.

So the other day after a long drive in stop and go traffic in the hot Florida heat, just as I am within 4 miles from home and sitting at a red light, the little yellow wrench symbol comes on on my dash. The car starts to stutter when it I begin to accelerate while in EV mode, but runs normal once it switches to the ICE. And as I got home, it seemed to not even want to switch to EV. However, once I get home and let it sit for a few hours, I turn it on and the wrench light went away and it runs fine now. So my questions are: What exactly happened? Is it something I need to worry about? And is there a part I need to replace so this doesn't happen again?
