DTC P1127: Exhaust Not Warm Enough, Downstream Sensor Not Tested

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1127 - EXHAUST NOT WARM ENOUGH, DOWNSTREAM SENSOR NOT TESTED

Description:  The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) monitor uses an exhaust temperature model to determine when the HO2S heaters are cycled ON. The test fails when the inferred exhaust temperature is below a minimum calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • Engine not operating long enough prior to carrying out the key on, engine running (KOER) self-test
  • Exhaust system too cool
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the HO2S heater PIDs to determine their ON/OFF state. DTC P1127 is present if the exhaust is not hot.
