po401 code

99 ranger 3.0,,,,check engine light popped up showing P1000 and P0401 codes,,,,,i think the p1000 is a system readyness test,,,,not sure why that came up and the 401 is exhaust gas problem,,,,I put on a new autozone DPFE a few months ago,,,,,can anyone point me in the right direction please !!!!!

If the P0401 (insufficent EGR flow) code comes back, check all EGR-related hoses for kinks, holes, clogs etc. Also check any EGR passages, including the orifice tube, for coke buildup.

Clearing the P1000 readiness code is usually accomplished by doing some mixed city and highway driving over a period of time. A more detailed description of the Ford "Drive Cycle" can be found here: Ford Motor Company Driving Cycle
