Gear engaged but not driving
P1000 fault code is a misnomer because it is not really a fault code. When this code is flashed in your dash panel, it just shows that the reset cycle of your engine computer is not completed yet. Normally, if you are resetting the code, you would disconnect the battery (-) terminal for 1 minute and reconnect. However, on some engines like Ford, the previous code is not totally erased yet so that this P1000 code will show up.
Although this may be considered a common Ford DTC, it's very minor. You in fact can safely ignore this code and it should go away as part of normal driving, you do not need to clear this code (as it may not actually turn off the MIL). If you want to the code to clear itself, faster, run through the Ford Drive Cycle. However, if you have other trouble codes, the MIL will stay on as there are other issues.
Hope this helps.
