P0127 - INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) TOO HIGH

Description:  Indicates that the IAT2 sensor has detected a potential abnormality in the intercooler system. This condition will cause the boost from the supercharger to be bypassed to avoid potential engine damage.
Possible Causes: 
  • Blockage of heat exchangers
  • Low fluid level
  • Fluid leakage
  • Intercooler pump or relay failure
  • Crossed intercooler coolant lines
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the IAT2 PID. A typical IAT2 temperature should be greater than the IAT1 temperature. Refer to REFERENCE VALUES for ranges.
