2011 MKZ HYBRID: HYBRID DRIVETRAIN NO LONGER ENGAGES.
Asked by William Jan 11, 2021 at 02:53 PM about the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Today I noticed I am only running on gas. At a stop light when fully stopped the
EV light goes on and gas engine disengages. As soon as i take my foot off the
brake and without pressing the gas pedal, the gas reengages and EV goes out.
Just started happening this week. What could cause this?

Bad hybrid battery? You should find a hybrid specialist.
No its not the battery, that is full. Update, on a hunch, i drove the car in reverse and the hybrid motor was fine. As soon as i put it in drive, gasoline only
Your 2011 MKZ Hybrid probably has a high voltage battery life counter (like the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid) and that counter shuts down the HVB at 10 yrs old. A dealer can reset the age to zero or 1 yr old and the HVB will come back online. You can reset yourself with some software and OBD2 connector. Look in Ford Fusion hybrid site "my instructions on restoring the hybrid EV function" by Allen84. Regards, Matt Zach

We are experiencing similar problem with our '12 hybrid Lincoln, praying we can have it repaired tomorrow. the Environmental setting goes off when applying the gas peddle.
