The P1000 code is more of a diagnostic pain than an actual problem. It just means your Ford’s onboard diagnostic system hasn’t completed its checks. To clear it, you need to drive the car through a specific set of conditions. Make sure you’ve got at least half a tank of gas, and drive at varying speeds (both city and highway), avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration, and let the car idle for a few minutes. Once the drive cycle is complete, the system should reset, and the code will disappear. It might take a couple of tries, but this method usually works. If it doesn’t, there could be something else going on with your sensors or emissions system.
