I got this DTC yesterday and i was woundering how do i fix it. I tried clearing it but it still popped back up after i retrived diagnostics.

 

Isn't that the code that says your PCM is in the "learning" mode? I don't think it means anything other than to say there has been a recent resetting of the PCM.

 

That's just the code you get when you reset the battery or reflash the computer. It's got to complete the driving cycle. If you google ODBII (Code) you'll find out what the code is more than likely.

 

• I have a P1000 DTC. How do I perform a DRIVE CYCLE to reset this?
The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBDII monitors and to clear the Ford P1000, I/M readiness code. To complete a specific monitor for repair verification, follow steps 1 through 4 then continue with the step described by the appropriate monitor found under the "OBDII Monitor Exercised" column. When the ambient air temperature is outside 4.4 to 37.8°C (40° to 100° F), or the altitude is above 2,438 meters (8000 feet), the EVAP monitor will not run. If the P1000 code must be cleared in these conditions, the PCM must detect them once (twice on some applications) before the EVAP monitor can be "bypassed" and the P1000 cleared. The EVAO "bypassing" procedure is described in the drive cycle.

The OBDII Drive Cycle will be performed using a scan tool. Consult the instruction manual for each described function. NOTE: A detailed description of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset is found in this section; refer to the table of contents.

Drive Cycle Recommendations:

· Most OBDII monitors will complete more readily using a "steady foot" driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in a "smooth" fashion will minimize the time required for monitor completion.

· Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 fill with 3/4 fill being the most desirable.

· The Evaporative Monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize "fuel slosh".

WARNING: STRICT OBSERVANCE OF POSTED SPEED LIMITS AND ATTENTION TO DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE MANDATORY WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE DRIVE CYCLES.

how do i clear that code. it says something on mine about some test not being able to complete

 

I'm missing something here. Didn't Groovy Chick just tell you how to do this? If you're having trouble still, just take the truck to your dealer. I'm sure he'll be glad to see you.

Easy, complete a driving cycle !!

 

I get the same code with my Xcal, I just ignored it and trucks runs fine. Although its been 10 months since I last changed tunes so maybe I will check again.

 

I get the same code and even after 2 months of driving.. its still there.. I went back to stock and took a 3hr road trip and the damn code is till there..... today i disconnected my battery but I've only driven about 5 minutes since....

 

Yep I checked this weekend and I last changed tunes in Aug '08 and I still get that P1000 code and I'm pretty sure I've completed a drive cycle in that time since this is my only vehicle.

 

With an Edge/Gryphon, you can clear codes in the Diagnostics menu. Don't you have this ability with an XCal or a Cortex?

And, if you disconnect the battery, you have probably just activated the P1000 code again.

Yes the Xcal can clear codes. Now as far as disconnecting the battery again, it's just reset the code ... LOL!!

 

clearing the p1000 doesn't make it go away...... the darn thing is like the tax man.. it keeps comming back

 

I THINK that's what I said - disconnecting the battery will cause you to see a P1000 code. Am I misunderstanding something here?

And as far as the Cortex reactivating the P1000 code, I haven't a clue.

I agree with FR2005. I have cleared that code multiple times with the X3 and like a bad penny it just keeps coming back, but since the truck is running fine and no other codes I just ignore it. I treat it like that Send Report Don't Send box you get whenever IE craps out. Just click don't send and move on
