Hazard Indicator (Red Triangle)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, 2011 Ford Fusion, 2010 Mercury Milan, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The hazard indicator illuminates whenever a severe concern within the hybrid electric system is detected and continued use of the vehicle is likely to cause damage to the system or to the vehicle. When the concern is present, the control module detects, sets the DTC and broadcasts a hazard on CAN message to the instrument cluster. Upon receiving the CAN message, the instrument cluster turns the indicator on.
The hazard indicator is turned off when the concern is no longer present and the ignition is cycled. If the hazard indicator flashes at the once per second rate, it indicates the vehicle is in the engine cranking diagnostic mode. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODES for engine cranking diagnostic mode.
