P1127 - Exhaust Not Warm Enough, Downstream Sensor Not Tested

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 performing 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.
