Questions About 2018 Ford Focus Electric Systems
-
Are Ford Focus electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair? The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
How often should you replace Ford Focus brakes? The best way to know is with a brake check. You also want to stay on top of your manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Ford Focus brakes. Generally speaking, front brake pad wear may be significantly reduced in electric vehicles due to regenerative braking.
-
Why is my Ford Focus dashboard warning light on? There are so many reasons the Focus dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.
-
Why is my Focus leaking water? Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your Focus for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

2018 Ford Focus EV Services
Has your Ford Focus been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. Whatever the issue, Firestone technicians can conduct a free* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Focus's high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, perhaps there are Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of your Focus's electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, including your 2018 Ford Focus.
Some Firestone stores also provide high voltage/advanced services for electric cars like Ford Focuss. High voltage services are any that include removing the Focus's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.
These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2018 Ford Focus to get to the root of the trouble. With those insights, a professional technician can further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your Ford Focus. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.
Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Ford Focus dead? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your Ford Focus.
