- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2023
- Hello there! In this video, we are going to diagnose and trouble shoot issues with 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid not starting. We were able to identify the issue to be low voltage in Hybrid battery. To resolve the issue, we were able to charge the Hybrid battery.
2009 Escape include the debut of Ford's Sync voice-interface system, a new processor to smooth out the transition between gas and electric modes, a cap less fuel filler, a refined regenerative braking system and the introduction of a Limited trim level for those who want all the luxury with their fuel efficiency. There's also a new Economy mode for the air-conditioner, which allows the gas engine to shut down.
This is a fun yet informative look at some of our repair jobs here at Junkyard Dogs . Whether you just enjoy watching the work, or you get that bit of information you need, we're glad to be here for our customers, our friends.
If you have any questions or need guidance about anything, just comment below in the comment section.

You can do this with the HVTB in the car and without removing ANY components on the passenger side of the HVTB. On the driver's side of the HVTB is a bundle of wires in gray foam. Inside that bundle are two orange split conduits with a gray (+) and black (-) connector at the ends. Tap into those and save 2 hours of work.
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way you could sent me a picture of that? I looked but i dont see the connections
I need to do this to get my car started. I went to the junkyard and picked up the big orange connector that plugs into the HV battery and left a foot or so of wire to it. Any reason I couldn't charge the HV battery by connecting the charger to the connector wires left on the plug?
@@aligalam106I wouldn't know, but there are knowledgeable people on the ford escape hybrid group on Facebook
@@robertcornelisse8664 Unwrap the gray foam and look for the two cables in orange plastic conduit. The connectors are on the ends of those cables.
Thank you Sir, An impressive approach. Regards
Thank you very moch

My over head lights and vanity mirror lights are not turning on in my 2009 ford escape hybrid. I noticed they both get voltage from the “battery saver relay” in the wiring diagram but it doesn’t tell me which relay it is. Do you know if this relay can affect the hybrid battery?
Hello, I wonder if the process work with Ford Escape 2007?
in min 18:14 you're showing the charger. There are a bunch of them on Amazon, but this spec is not currently available. is that voltage and amperage very specific to this car or does it self-regulate and i can pickup pretty much any one of those chargers? also if I run it from a 240V plug in my garage will it charge a lot faster like it would an EV?
Can a battery tender or a snap on battery charger be used to charge the high voltage battery?
Thank you for doing such a good video really helpful with this. Im wondering if there is anyway to charge without taking the battery apart. Im guessing the electronics might not let people do this.
Thank you.
I wish there was an easier way but unfortunately the battery has to be removed as far as I know. Ford removed the charge button starting the year 2009.
@@junkyard-dogs The HVTB does NOT have to be removed. The two bolts securing the blue lifting straps can be removed with channel-locks. The two worst fasteners are on the side toward the front. Cut down a Torx bit to get at those. EVERY other fastener for the two lids is readily accessible.
@@urntwrthyZhave you tried this before?
@@dxta7360I did a few weeks ago. And I made a video about it.

You absolutely can leave the HVTB in place.
Thanks for the look inside of the battery. I wonder why Ford did not put a charging power plug on it. I suppose if you could plug it in at night, you may never buy gasoline again? I was just shopping for a cheap chariot since I was tired of walking to Walmart. One I saw reported the problem presented in your video. A no start situation. I will put that pos on the consideration list. My worst fear is the first curiosity check saw replacement batteries in the $3K range. Definately out of the question for a 17 year old puzzle box. Anyway, thanks for the look over the shoulder.
The one other question that looms as I am about to go fix diner is the charger device. Would it not be feasible to wire it into that positive and Negative terminals coexistent with the original device reassembling so a pigtail is outside that you could connect the charger should the battery become depleted again without the removal part? Hmm. made myself a note to explore this further. If the Escape I saw advertised is not a rolling pigsty, I may be able to come up with the asking price.
I was thinking this also but it has to be safe
That battery only has the capacity to run the car a couple of miles at most.
I have the distinct impression that this is the first time you have ever performed this procedure.
On this vehicle yes but other vehicles several times.
WHat scan tool are you using to check the Drive Battery?
It's the Launch X431 tool.
Is it possible to connect alligator clips to the top of those two bolts to charge the battery?
It seems like the two bolts are insulated somehow and don't connect to the terminals so alligator clips on the bolts will not work.
Thank you for the video, it did help me to make a cable from the inside of the battery to the outside, so if it happens again in the future, i will have direct access.
Can you please let me know the scanner part number that you are using
Sure, the scanner is Launch X431.
Thank you for the information, Someone was trying to sell me a replacement battery for $1200 and $100 to use the scan and reset the codes
Where to buy the charger?
Hey bro do you leave the fuse in while you charge the battery pack or do you keep it off I’m having this same issue
When charging, the fuse needs to be in. It should be in and turned in lock position.
The safety switch connects the 2 battery packs inside the battery so you will be able to see the total voltage from bottom and top battery banks
I tried it and it worked for a bit back to the same thing it’s dying on me
Did you ever get it started or just get rid of it? I have one a 2007 that doing the same thing and has the p0a1f code.
On a 07 there's a button to jump start and will also recharge the hybrid battery in rear,I just did the jump start process and no more code
@@andymckenna1207 Only for the 05-08 models. Ford eliminated for 09+.
Yeah it started and still running good.
That's cool
Hello,
I enjoyed your video and thank you for making it. I’m trying to fix mine however I need to order the charger that you used on the escape hybrid battery. Can you share with me the details to purchase the same one you have?
Yes certainly. It can be purchased from Amazon.

How much would this normally cost to charge the hybrid battery ?
I would say 3 to 4 hours of labor.
@@junkyard-dogsHow about money wise??
There is a button at the driver side on the dash under a cover to charge the hybrid battery from the 12V battery!!! Read the user Manual!!!!
2009 or above models do noe this button.
The 2009 model has 2 reset buttons for the big battery( both on the passenger side of the vehicle) one on the bottom right side of the passenger side and the second one in the back( by the lift compartment)
Those are inertia crash resets, @@CesarAPartida
