Ran AE Scanner and got some codes

[glovemeister]

My CEL light is randomly intermittent. I noted that sometimes when I push the park brake pedal all the way to the floor and then release it, my truck will have a change in idle and then the WTS light will come on. I attribute it to a loose wire somewhere as it doesn't do it all the time. (This is all kind of guessing).

So today I ran tests with my new AE scanner. My CCT came out successfully, and my buzz wouldn't run because I had a couple of codes. I had these: P0381, P1396, P1000.

For the first code it is Glow Plug/Heater Indicator Circuit which would make me think that my wire theory is correct. However, when I bought the truck the PO referenced that the bowl heater needed replacing, would this tie in to this code?

The glow plugs are brand new.

I do get smoke on startup, but it is white and goes away. It does start with the gps, so I am pretty sure they are working.


Lastly, I ran a cct test after figuring out how to monitor my coolant, and oil temp and make sure they were in range. I brought it home and started the cct, boy I was sure freaking out that I was destroying my truck.

Is there anyway that I can monitor hpop pressure?

In my setup I have icp pressure, and injector pulse width.I'm not real sure what those mean, but they are cool to look at and I know that they are related to injector function.

California truck, right? Do you have the shunt on the glow plug relay?

[glovemeister]

I do not believe it is a Cali model truck. No shunt on the GP, just looks normal with the posts and leads.

off topic but did you have trouble getting the AE to connect to your truck.???

[glovemeister]

Yes. I called AE and my code reader wasn't activated although I already did it before I even hooked it up. So anyway, reset my laptop and selected obd 2 non compliant and it worked.

let me know how i hold up.... ive heard they are a PITA to get connected, thats why i have not bought one yet and may got the route of the old RED BRICK

[glovemeister]

Yours welcome to try it on your truck, pay for shipping. It is very bad ***. I enjoy watching like 16 different sensors while I am driving.

haha.... that would be neat, guy down the road form me has one but we couldnt get it to connect

Version 9 of AE fixed all or most of the connection issues. I was running v6.0 and upgraded, now everything works fine. And you NEED the ford enhanced package for it to work.
