I own a 2014 FUSION HYBRID SE…it’s got 160,000 plus miles on it. I only have replaced the tires with a rated 18” done the brakes, flushed the radiator suctioned out the powerstering fluid, brake fluid and replaced with fresh fluids.
My question is, can I change the fluid on the electric drive transmissions, I was told no by a ford service tech and I found it unusual.
Thanks for your responses !

I'm new to hybrid cars and have been actively shopping for a first generation fusion or MKZ hybrid. I have test driven three cars and am starting to wonder about my expectations. My google-fu has lead me to believe the traction battery alone should get the car going and carry low speeds (up to 45ish mph) while in traffic. While I know the battery is limited and will need to charge, none of the cars I have test driven will accelerate from a stop on battery alone. The ICE kicks on immediately when applying throttle. The acceleration is only the pace of shuffling traffic. I'm trying to move the car quickly, just normally.
I did some OBDII testing on a car this week and logged some data that meets my understanding of how the battery should behave. I also understand the PCM and BMS maybe limiting the traction battery usage based on the battery's age. There is a TSB for this. But those are another story... Right now I'm just trying to make sure I am expecting the right behavior from the car.

Codes on my ford fusion hybrid 2015 titanium. And issue occured after coolant replacement. I got the engine temperature warning but no codes were generated initially but today that warning appeared three times and check engine light turned on and then bought the code reader and this is what it says. Any suggestions.
