Couple of newbie questions

Post by Sonic04GT »

What does this error code mean?
P1000 Check of all OBDII Systems Not Complete
On the actual tuner it says "OBD Systems Readiness Test Not Complete"

It's the only code it's throwing.

2004 Ford Mustang GT
-Magnaflow O/R X and Catback
-Dragon 75mm TB and Plenum
-Steeda CAI

U7146
v.9r07b

And why does my VIN show up as "VIN HEX"

Thanks

P1000 - Monitor Testing Not Complete The on board diagnostic II (OBD II) monitors are performed during the OBD II Drive Cycle. The DTC will be stored in continuous memory if any of the OBD II monitors do not complete. Vehicle is new from the factory
Battery or PCM had recently been disconnected
An OBD II monitor failure had occurred before completion of an OBD II drive cycle
PCM DTCs have recently been cleared with a scan tool
PTO circuit is shorted to VPWR or B+ or PTO is on during testing
The DTC does not need to be cleared from the PCM except to pass an inspection/maintenance test.

=============================

DTC P1000 is an indication that the vehicle needs to be driven for a period so that the
vehicle can learn certain operating characteristics.

Ok that makes sense. The previous owner had a tune in the vehicle when he sold it to me so I took it to Ford yesterday to have the PCM flashed so I could use my Diablo. What about the VIN? Thanks!

Is it recommended that I drive the vehicle more until this DTC clears before I apply the basic 87 Diablo tune that was included with the Predator?

The Predator will not always read VIN on ford applications and is completely normal. You should still be able to tune it even with that p1000 code present.

Cool, thanks :)

Where are you with a 561 area code? I'm from West Palm Beach.

So the P1000 code is gone but it just threw this:

P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

I have an O/R X with MIL eliminators. Think one of the plugs are bad? What side is bank 1?

Can I just go ahead and clear the code with the Predator to shut my Service Engine Soon light off? Gonna try to crawl under there today and check the connections.

Curious why that turned on right around the time the P1000 code disappeared.
