Summary of the thread
A 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid was experiencing electrical issues, including an error message and an unresponsive navigation system, possibly due to an implausible control unit programming. The symptoms, such as flickering lights and radio interruptions, suggested a software malfunction. A software reset or recalibration was recommended, and after consulting a dealer, a software recalibration was performed, resolving the issues.

Thanks for the quick reply! The error code is pretty generic, something like "Control Module Programming Error". As for other symptoms, yes, the interior lights sometimes flicker momentarily, and the radio occasionally cuts out for a split second. Is this pointing to a software malfunction? Is a software reset or recalibration possible?

Thank you for providing the additional details. The flickering lights and radio issues, in conjunction with the error code, do suggest a possible software-related problem within the vehicle's control unit. While a software reset or recalibration might resolve the issue, it would be prudent to consult with a qualified technician at a reputable service center. They possess the diagnostic tools and expertise to accurately assess the situation and perform the necessary software reprogramming. It could save you money in the long run.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the dealer, and they confirmed it was a software issue. They performed a software recalibration, and that seems to have fixed everything. The total cost was around 240€. Appreciate the help!
