I would not have stated such If it was/has not been effective prior. code is either pcm or ficm based one does not like the other.
as I suggested prior low voltage can set this as well. earase the code and see if it comes back.

I don't think so. You might start a new thread of your own however, to get more visibility.

Just curious, does the PCM have the function of doing a “hard reset” on itself? Like a complete power down and memory wipe that would set a P-1000 is what I’m wondering. If not then the power is being interrupted somehow to get the P-1000 or was interrupted at least once recently. I believe once it’s there it requires a set number of drive cycles to clear and it would be difficult to know if it is a “fresh” code but I’ve never considered how this works before and I have thought it around in circles for quite awhile today.

I believe I remember a P-1000 will persist even after clearing codes like the emission readiness indicators do.
