Ford F Hybrid engine start failure

I'm having an issue with my 2020 Ford F Hybrid. The engine won't start. It has 43254 km. I checked the fuel injection system but found nothing. I suspect an ECU failure or software issue.

Summary of the thread

The 2020 Ford F Hybrid experienced an engine start failure, suspected to be due to an ECU failure or software issue. However, the problem was resolved by addressing the battery cable connections, which were corroded. Cleaning and re-tightening the connections successfully fixed the issue.

I had a similar problem with my old 2016 BMW 3 series with a gasoline engine. The symptoms sound familiar. Did you check the battery cable connections? That fixed it for me. Let me know if that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you give me more details on how to check the cable connections properly? What should I look for?

Sure. With my BMW, the connections looked fine at first, but they were a bit corroded underneath. I disconnected them, cleaned them with a wire brush, and made sure they were tight. If that doesn't work, it might be something more serious like an ECU issue, and then you'd probably need to visit a workshop.

Thanks for your help. The battery cable connections were the problem. Cleaning and re-tightening them fixed it. The repair cost 155€.
