2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Check Engine Light Codes

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, while an advanced electric vehicle, can still log diagnostic codes that illuminate the check engine light. Common codes relate to battery management, high-voltage charging circuits, thermal control, and sensor faults. For example, a battery management system (BMS) fault can indicate a cell imbalance or thermal issue; delaying repairs may reduce electric range, stress the battery pack, and result in more expensive replacements. Charging-circuit codes can mean degraded connectors or a failed charge module that prevents full charging capacity and increases daily charging time. Sensor faults (temperature or voltage sensors) can trigger limp modes that limit power and reduce driving range. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians use OEM-level scanners to identify codes precisely and recommend repairs that protect range and longevity. Choosing dealer service often costs less than independent shops when considering accurate diagnostics, OEM parts, and the long-term savings of preventing larger battery repairs.
