Resetting works at times - simply because you can get a Buggy reboot.

Computers aren't perfect - This is the first step you take..

 

Well i read all the sites you gave me and the one gave directions to follow to fix it. Im guna try it later tonight on my way back to work. Those are awsome sights. Do you have a break down of codes for the f150... I saw the generic one you gave me.

 

That covers the 150 , theres others to reference to -

Again you are a welth of sites nad pics. What would we do without you???

 

Why is there 3 pages of posts instead of finding out what a 1000 code actually is?
You cannot reset a P1000 code by any means except enough drive cycles that causes the PCM to do all system tests to completion and fault free.
There are about 8 PIDs/flags that must be reset by it's own testing and not by external reset.
Every time the PCM is re-booted, powered down, program changed with a tuner to or from stock or a fault is repaired, a code cleared, a P1000 is automaticaly set.
This code normally does not set a lamp on so you don't know it's there unless a code reader that will read the code is used. Not all reader will read it.
Sometimes drive cycles to clear this code are a bitch and take a long time due to all the driving conditions that must be met.
Driving in town or short distances don't often cut it very quickly..
Some of this is by design so the system can't be defeated or tricked by you guys, into passing with changes made to external parts of the design.
Believe me, it even gives dealers a hassle.

 

Your right. I posted so that maybe i could find a driving sequence that would help make it go by faster. Jbrew gave me one and i went out and did it..... AGGGHHH if its not one thing its another. Now i have a P0232 Fuel pump secondary circiut high..... Now i got to fix that before it will reset....

 

Looks like a new relay is in order. It in the PDB. - You can swap those to check - there all the same on my 98 (the ones of that size)

It will say on top of them.

You could have a bad wire as well..

Check your relay fuse as well - its in the same box.

 

1.) were talkign under the hood right????

2.) One of the possible cuases of the problem from reading past post is that it could be cuased by a bad ground... You wouldn't happen to know where that ground for that circiut would be?? Would Ya???

 

1. Yea

2. Do you know the ground # - I don't know without a wiring diagram in front of me.

 

Boy my first ? was stupid. If i had take'n a bit to think i would have realized that there are no relays under the dash. :o

As for the ground im looking on my drawings now.
I will get back to ya.

 

Just got done looking. Mine dont show any ground numbers... A lot of good that will do!

 

Swap the relay and reboot - but check that fuse - don't care what the other thread says at the moment - do the easy first..

The fuse is a MAXI -- aww hell!! I'll get some pics - hang on


Heres one - swap the relays -











Check #19 - I doubt thats it , but check it anyway..




I'll look for the ground , hang on


I can't find the one I'm looking for , just the color - Theres two from the pump Ones Black and ones Pink w/orange stripe.

 

New you had a pic in ya... LOL Made me luagh this early in the morn. I will check it as soon as i get up.

 

While your in the vicinity - look for a special colored wire.

Most of the time Green, white and fuzzy . Sometimes it has a tint of black to it as well. It may be in two pieces

That the teleconnectic wire - Cut it back on both sides - strip - thro a jumper in there to help it out - rap in rosin core - heat - shrink rap.

There , I cracked myself up this early in the morning - I'm letting the dog back in and going back to bed..

Haha..

 

What a lonely life....

Im guna move that relay with the horn one that way i can do my drive cycles again and see if that was the problem.
