2000-04 Gasoline Models: Introduction

The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBD-II 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 "OBD-II Monitor Exercised" column. See Drive Cycle Procedures . When the ambient air temperature is outside 40 to 100°F (4.4 to 37.8°C), or the altitude is above 8000 feet (2438 meters), 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 EVAP "bypassing" procedure is described in the drive cycle. The OBD-II Drive Cycle will be performed using a scan tool. Consult the instruction manual for each described function.
