Test Notes

You should enter this Pinpoint Test only when directed here.

It is not necessary to remove the DTC P1000 from the PCM by driving the vehicle unless it is requested by the customer to pass an inspection/maintenance test.

Inform the customer of the need for additional driving when required to pass an inspection/maintenance test.

DESCRIPTION
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1000 indicates that not all of the On Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) monitors have completed. In some states, this DTC must be cleared to pass an inspection/maintenance test. The customer should be informed that the law specifies additional city and highway driving must be done to complete the check of the On Board Diagnostic system. This additional driving must occur before the vehicle is tested at the inspection/maintenance station. The amount of driving required varies with individual driving patterns. To complete this requirement in the shortest amount of time, refer to Drive Cycles.

DTC P1000 is set by the PCM with any of the following conditions:
- The vehicle is new from the factory and has not yet been through a complete OBD II Drive Cycle.
- The battery or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been disconnected.
- An OBD II monitor failure had occurred before completion of an OBD II Drive Cycle.
- The PCM DTCs have been erased with a Scan Tool as part of the normal repair process.

DTC P1000 may not be removed from the PCM because:
- There is a thermostat stuck open and a DTC is not output.
- There is an open Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) circuit and a DTC is not output.
- If the vehicle has a Power Take Off (PTO), the circuit is shorted to Vehicle Power (VPWR) or Battery Voltage (VBAT) or the PTO is on during testing.

NOTE: The only way a DTC P1000 can be removed from memory is when all the OBD II monitors have successfully completed during normal vehicle operation.
