P1000 indicates that the OBD-II diagnostic check has yet to be completed. Usually it’ll just clear itself after a period of time. It is very uncommon for this code to need any help to be cleared. If your Ranger is getting P1000 it means that one of these tests were not completed.

Some of these systems are “continuous” which means that they run all the time, while others are “non-continuous” which means that they will only run under certain conditions. These tests are intended to verify that the system is functioning as designed. All vehicles manufactured in 1996 or newer are equipped with an OBD-II system. This often occurs when the trouble codes have been reset, or the battery has been disconnected/replaced.Īuto manufacturers are required to have their OBD-II equipped vehicles run through a series of diagnostic tests on their readiness monitors. In the case of Ford vehicles manufactured by Ford (including the Ford Ranger), it indicates that the OBD-II monitor testing has not been completed.

P1000 is a manufacturer specific trouble code.
