Any Idea what the problem may be? Hi Jimmie and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. First, the Welcome sub-forum is for introductions. Although this is your first post, it is primarily asking about help with an issue. Therefore, it will be moved to the "Fusion Energi" sub-forum, where it may get more appropriate attention. Next...concerning your question: What is your vehicle's current mileage? Is it still within the Powertrain or Hybrid Powertrain Warranties? Essentially, the vehicle takes prior driving environment into consideration when calculating driving range, and it is difficult at best to Internet diagnose a mileage/range issue, if there is one. If you believe there is an issue, your best course of action would be to make a service appointment. Keep us updated and good luck.

Jimmie Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 My 2019 Fusion Energi has 43,000 miles on it. The mileage is beyond the 3yr/36,000 mile powertrain warranty, it is still covered by the Hybrid powertrain warranty of 8yr/100,000 miles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call the Service Department at your Ford Dealership and set up a service appointment. There may be nothing wrong, as it may just be the range that can be expected for your particular situation due to weather, your driving habits and environment etc., but no harm in having it checked out. Keep us updated and good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I took my Fusion Energi to the dealer to see if they could findout why the range on the battery fell from 24 miles/charge to just 13 miles/charge. I explained to them that I had two DTC codes show up on my code reader. The two codes found are attached. They perfomed the diagnostic test for $189.00 and reported back to me that they found no codes stored in the system. However, they reset and updated the PCM (power train control module), SOBCM (SECONDARY OBD CONTROL MODULE) and BCM (Body Control Module). This helped and the range on the battery increased from 13 mile/charge to 19 miles/charge. The dealer had no explaination why the battery range dropped. Through my own search I discovered that the battery looses anywhere from 2% to 3% per year. Edited December 1, 2022 by Jimmie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After bringing it home from the dealer, drove it for several days and charged the battery each day. On December 3 drove the car and competely discharged the battery. When my wife drove the car later in the day, she called me and told me that the battery charge indicator showed a charge of around 75%, but showed no miles (see photo). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Upate. Check engine light come back on. Took my Fusion Energi back to the dealer. Found that circuits in the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) were bad. BECM controls balancing of charge to the battery pack. DTC codes found were P0DCD (Hybrid Battery Cell Balancing Circuit F Stuck On) and P0DE1 (Hybrid Battery Cell Balancing Circuit Stuck On. The problem was fixed by replacing the BECM. Service told me that the part cost $800. Car was still under the EV warranty and was replaced at no charge. I put the car on charge over night hoping that the repair would fix the problem with my loss of battery range down from 24 mile per charge to 14 miles per charge. Replacing the BECM did not fix the battery range problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Give it some time. It may need to run through a cycle or two of rebalancing the battery and it may need to learn the range cycle based on the new parameters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
