Yes, I've confirmed code P0001 on my 1998 Buick Lesabre. It's not commonly listed in basic troubleshooting guides—might be worth verifying with a different OBD2 scanner. Many auto parts stores offer free diagnostic scans.

It's a good idea to validate the code using another scan tool—some scanners may misread or fail to detect the issue accurately.
