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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. 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 performing KOER self-test.
  • Exhaust system below normal operating temperature.
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the HO2S heater PIDs to determine their ON/OFF state. DTC P1127 is present if the exhaust is below normal operating temperature.
