I just recently had to boost my car and when a friend hooked up the cables on his end he crossed the with small sparkes. After the car was started I got a message that said parking brake fault and the ABS light came on. I tested the parking brakes in drive at idle and they work fine. I then borrowed an OBD2 reader and came up with code #P 1000 . Has anyone seen this code and if so what does this mean, Also what should I do about parking brake fault??? Thank you for any reply.

 

It should be P1000 and you can then find it using Search

You should NOT have it unless the codes have recently been cleared or battery disconnected. I guess the "boost" might count.

Such a boost is a real risk to a ton of VERY expensive modules. True of most if not all modern cars.

There are many such modules but a typical OBD tool will only read one (the PCM aka ECM). You need a dealer-type tool for the others.

See the forum stickies about the EPB (or your handbook).

 

Jerry try this:


Issue:
On some 2003 MY-on S-TYPE vehicles, a customer may report a concern of premature
parking brake pad wear or the brakes binding. This condition can result if the electronic
park brake (EPB) system is not re-calibrated after the removal of the rear brake callipers
to replace the brake pads.
Action:
Should a customer express concern regarding the above, refer to the calibration
procedure detailed in this bulletin.
1. Reset the EB module:
a. Switch off the ignition.
b. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. For additional information, refer to STYPE
Workshop Manual Section 414-01.
c. Reconnect the battery.
2. Start the engine.
3. Firmly apply and release the foot brake five times.
4. Confirm that the message ˜NOT CALIBRATED" or ˜APPLY FOOT AND PARK
BRAKE" is displayed on the instrument cluster message centre. This indicates that
the parking brake is in calibration mode.
5. Lightly press the foot brake pedal.
6. Apply the parking brake by using the EB switch.
7. Release the parking brake.
8. Release the foot brake.
9. Confirm that the brake warning lamp is no longer illuminated on the instrument
pack and that the ˜NOT CALIBRATED" message is no longer displayed in the
message centre.
10. Apply and release the EPB five times to ensure no error is present.

 

I checked all the fuses but am unsure as to resetting the EB module??? I have windows vista (which I loath) and cannot get the disk to work (not computer savy)
