is anyone in here using the autoenginuity scantool for their 6.0L?

has anyone had any success in removing the p1000 code?
i followed the directions to a tea but i cannot get it to go away also it still doesn't support any onboard test(IM tab)?
i do have the enhanced ford with the can module

try here maybe it will help you.
p01000 is test incomplete

 

yeah the scanner dispalys in english so that is what it says but the instructions that come eith the scan tool tell you to drive in stop and go traffic stopping at least four times for 30 seconds each and your fuel input sensor has to read between 18% and 85% . i did this and nothing. i know that the 6.0L are a little different when it comes to scan tools so i was hoping that someone else has tried to do this or am i barking up the wrong tree.

glad to see you are feeling ok capt.

 

you are in the correct forum.i hope for you ford-doctor will jive in to help you out. with him being a dealer 6.0 tech. i know he can help. maybe pm him
and thank you .

 

I notice you have your EGR disconnected; IIRC, the OBDII readiness test is not going to complete with it disconnected. I had mine disconnected during one 5000 mile oil change interval to see if there was any difference in darkening of the oil (friend's Duramax w/o EGR stays clearer looking). Didn't make any difference and nothing was noted on OA test either.

As has been stated, I don't think you can reset this code until you get a good complete OBDII drive cycle.

I do have AutoEnginuity and also the AutoXray 6000.

I too am disappointed that I can not operate the EGR valve, etc. on my 6.0; the examples on AutoEnginuity's web site give examples of this with the screen shots for a 7.3 PSD. I have managed to blindly complete the KOEO tests by following some sequence for pushing the brake, turning the steering, etc. (can't remember details). I think the factory tool gives you the prompt as to what to do but unless something has changed in the AutoEnginuity's last update (8/25/05) it doesn't prompt you. I would really like to be able to operate the EGR and VGT to check for sticking, etc.

There is a new update for the AutoXray 6000 that came out last week; I haven't loaded it yet. My prior experience leaves me unimpressed with the 6000 for use with the 6.0 PSD; too many missing PIDS.

Jason, did you end up having any luck with the scanner?

 

Just how badly do you want to have the capability to do this? (in $$$)

 

Probably not bad enough that I'm going to buy the Ford offered software for the Pocket PC (but I'm not sure what that cost either; I'm guessing close to $2500).

Primary motivation for AutoEnginuity was the fact it could operate devices as demonstrated on their 7.3 PSD screen snapshots.

I keep hoping enough people will purchase AutoEnginuity and keep making this request to them and they will get it working.

What kind of idea do you have??

The AutoXray is worthless for the 6.0 in my opinion but I have found it useful for vehicles that friends own. I also have the "conductance" based tester option for batteries that is pretty neat.

I have looked at some of the other PC based scan tools; Ease, CanScan, can't remember them all since I'm on the office PC.

If you want to be able to create infinite numbers of your own diagnostic procedures, monitor the trucks various computer networks, compose your own flashes/programs, ect. take a look at Dearborne Group Technologies hardware and software. You won't come out any cheaper than with the Ford software, but you have unlimited capability to do essentially anything to the truck as far as electronics are concerned.

Only aggrevating part is that some of the wiring has to be hardwired to the truck. It's not for the lighthearted, but then again it wasn't intended to be. It is the same hardware Ford used to actually compose the programs for the 6.0 to begin with (and countless other vehicles).

 

actually i haven't been able to get back to play with the scanner yet but from what i gather is i need to plug the egr valve back in

also how come when you goto the IM screen on the autoenginuity it says that none of the on board systems are supported will this change when i complete the cycle? or did i do something wrong?

 

jasonschwenk:

Mine also shows that all the mode 6 or IM (inspection/maintenance) monitors are not supported because of the vehicle weight. I'm not sure that is actually true from the Ford OBDII emissions manual; but, in any case AutoEnginuity is not supporting them currently.

Maybe later this week I'll undo my EGR and reset the
ECM to see if P1000 persists; I think it will until you complete the OBDII Drive cycles.

Currently I have 134 "# of Completed OBDII Drive Cycles" when selecting and viewing that PID on the Live Data Meter Screen.

PSD 60L FX4:

That is one I haven't had a hit on when searching the web. I'll have to checkout Dearborne Group.

Not sure that I want to wire into the network or wiring but I am interested in what is available. At one time I would have been more "gung ho" but don't do much component level electronics anymore.

Thanks for the information.

has anyone asked autoenginuity why they do not support these systems or is it ford that does not?

 

just emailed jay at autoenginuity

he says the truck doesn't suport any on bord test only egr

 

finally got back to my scan tool and these are the codes it threw after i plugged the egr valve back in and installed my turbo back exhaust

i am really concerned about the first one
any ideas on what that is?

also how come when i put my edge to level 5 it bucks and throws a gear ratio not correct code and the tow/haul light flashes?

any help would be appreciated
thanks
