"STOP SAFELY NOW"

[Budzyn26]

I'm working on my daughter's 20011 Escape Hybrid that wont start and shows "STOP SAFELY NOW" on its dash. It ran briefly after repairs from an accident, no airbags deployed but there was major front end damage. I replaced the radiator, inverter cooler, core support and some others. Now it won't crank at all, and im getting multiple voltage and communication-related codes including P1A10 (hybrid battery disabled) and P0562 (system voltage low). The inertia switches dont seem tripped. I'm stuck and not sure if it's a power issue, a hybrid system lockout, or something else... Any guidance would be much appreciated.

I wonder what actually triggers a full hybrid lockout on these Escapes, could it be a safety protocol gone overboard, even after minor signals, or is it truly signaling deep electrical damage?

You can check all ground points and fuses, especially near the front harness, accident damage often breaks hybrid system grounds, you can also scan for hybrid system lockout resets via Ford IDS or Forscan software

Forscan is free for Windows and has a mobile version with limited features. You'll need an OBD-II adapter, the full Ford IDS software isn't free...it's dealer-level and requires a paid license
