STATE INSPECTION ADVISORY FOR GRYPHON/EDGE OWNERS

[88Racing]

Recent threads and posts are indicating that some of your trucks are going in for state inspections.
If you do the following you'll have a better chance at passing.
1. There should be no need to put the truck back to stock level 0.
2. Simply unplug and remove programmer and cable and go to test station.

If the above aren't followed and you put your truck back to stock level 0 you'll get a p1000 code and won't pass.

If you think you need to have the truck tested with stock programming than do it a week before and drive at least 50 miles before going to the test station.

What state or states are we talkin about?

[shotgun]

What state or states are we talkin about?

Any state that has emissions testing and/or connects to the ODBI or ODBII port as part of the testing.

If your State or locality (in Arizona we have two "localities" - Tucson and Phoenix) requires an emissions inspection, you'll know about it. If you've never heard of this inspection, I doubt it's required where you live.

I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't seem to get the P1000 code when I switch back to stock though? I ALWAYS put the truck back to stock whenever I take it in for service, even an oil change, and I've NEVER seen the P1000 (or any other code).

Come to think about it now?
I don't think I have ever seen it pop up when I go back to stock either.
Hmmmmm........
Interesting.
:shrug:

And, I THINK the Gryphon will "see" and display a P1000 code? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Th gryphon will see the P1000 code because I've had it come up when I returned to stock. I was thinking that the cause of your lack of code could be from differences in year model but it looks like we are all in the same '04-'08 year bracket (or at least Jack and I do). I guess that is a quirk that your two trucks have. Kinda like my speedometer is right on with the gryphon display among other things. :hmmm:

Same age bracket different motor sizes. :)

[Longshot270]

Same age bracket different motor sizes. :)

Thats the difference in mine and yours right? Not between you and Jack's?
That would be interesting to see how many other trucks will do that.:hmmm:

[Jeb]

if it gets that code...can you just clear it?

[88Racing]

You can only clear that code by driving the truck.

[Jackpine]

And to elaborate on this. I never saw the P1000 code using my old Gryphon, but I DO see it now if I put the tune back to stock using the CTS. :shrug:

I posted this in the CS/CTS forum, but I'll repeat a bit here. I drove my truck for about 50 miles with the tune at stock and the P1000 code did not clear. This was around town and it involved several start/stop cycles and, the truck reached operating temperature during most of these cycles. I'm beginning to think unless you actually DO the "drive cycle reset" procedure (which seems like learning to play the piano), it might take a long time to reset using "ordinary" driving. I set the tune back to Level 2 finally, and the P1000 code was instantly gone. Shortly after that, I took the truck to be emissions tested and simply disconnected the OBD cable at the plug and tucked it up out of sight. I didn't even bother to remove the CTS from the dash. The truck passed with flying colors.

So, bottom line: Leave the truck "tuned" if you are getting an emissions inspection!

Jack, from my time at Jaguar, which used an antiquated Ford program according to one of the techs, it can sometimes take a prolonged period of time to reset everything. Some vehicles may be more touchy than others for some reason. It even presented such a problem at times they stuck lot boys into the cars and had them drive it and periodically stop back in service to see if everything reset yet, and if not, back on the road they went to drive it some more.

I have taken mine in on level 3 and just unplugged the Gryphon, placing the cable out of the way before handing over the keys to service. So far I have not had any issues here.

I would suggest that anyone going in where the OBD system is connected to, make sure well in advance that there are no codes stored. Like you suggested previously, doing so a week in advance is probably a good idea to do this too.

I can only speak of mine 03' Ford F150 FX4 Lariat, I don't know about others, but I would like to know if they're are others. I get the P1000 code every time I switch it back to stock :matt-roloff:, if they're are others in the older yrs bracket getting this code, please let me know. :shrug:

[88Racing]

This will always happen when going back to stock.
Or
Disconnecting the battery.
Only driving the truck will clear it.
I haven't seen if it happens while a custom tune is loaded and the battery was disconnected.
It's an indicator that the pcm has had its KAM memory erased and its starting to learn again.

I live in California, and I had a similar problem with stock Edge program. I was running a little lean due to other mods, so I cleared codes and went to stock. When i went to test station they saw I had cleared codes so that would be an automatic failure for smog. I had to put over 100 miles on truck to get this to clear from computer.
