P0000 ISO/SAE Reserved
OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description
ISO/SAE Reserved (no valid description)
What does that mean?
This is a code that is not often seen, that is quite simply because it’s not a valid diagnostic trouble code so not many code reading devices display this code.
Now, you might think that because it starts with P00 like the other P00xx codes that it is a generic powertrain code under the category "Fuel & Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls Read". But, it’s as we said, it’s invalid.
Please note that some code readers that display a P0000 code may indicate the description as "No Self Diagnostic Failure Indicated" or "No Diagnostic Trouble Codes Found" or possibly something else like "Unknown".
Symptoms
There will no symptoms as a result of the P0000 code. You may, however, have symptoms related to other trouble codes. You may or may not have the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminated.

Diagnostic and Repair Procedures
If you experience only this trouble code and have no symptoms, generally you are fine to just continue driving the vehicle and not worry about it. You may wish to clear the code and check again later to see if the code returns. If it does you may want to use a more advanced scan tool next time.
If you are having symptoms of a problem and there are other trouble codes along with a P0000, then you should first focus on repairing the other trouble codes.
If there are no other codes and you have symptoms of a problem, you should then read the trouble codes again using a different, more advanced code scanner. Be sure to check with the manufacturer of the tool to see if your vehicle is supported.

"Delete Error Code Permanently, Disable DTC Error Code Function for p0000 in the ECU"
In extreme cases, we even have the option to permanently remove the specific DTC p0000 and disable the function of the specific error code in the ECU. All other fault code functions will then continue to work to protect the engine. This is different from clearing an error code with a diagnostic device. We have the option to permanently remove the function of the specific error code, so that it never comes back. Also emergency running that occurs on the specific error code can be solved in most cases.
Of course we prefer to first try to solve the cause of the error code, but sometimes the only solution is to permanently disable the DTC function of p0000.
