No test procedures have been omitted. - 100) KOER DTC P1127
DTC P1127 indicates that HO2S heater was not on during KOER self-test and testing of HO2S did not occur. Possible cause is cool exhaust system. Connect scan tool to DLC. Using scan tool, access all HO2S heater PIDs. If all PIDs indicate ON, repeat QUICK TEST . If any PIDs indicate OFF, operate engine until all PIDs are on. Repeat QUICK TEST.NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 100) to step 110). No test procedures have been omitted. - 110) KOER P1128 & P1129
These DTCs indicate that during KOER self-test, one or both HO2S signals were crossed from bank to bank. DTC P1128 refers to HO2S in front of converter. DTC P1129 refers to HO2S behind converter. Possible causes for these faults are:- Crossed HO2S connectors.
- Crossed HO2S wiring at HO2S connector.
- Crossed HO2S wiring at PCM connector.
Turn ignition off. Disconnect suspect HO2S. Inspect connector for indication of crossed wires or incorrect installation. Repair as necessary. If no faults are found, go to next step.
- 111) Verify Proper HO2S SIG Pin Location
Disconnect PCM 104-pin connector. Inspect connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. Disconnect both suspect HO2S connectors. HO2S DTC identification is as follows:- DTC P1128 is for HO2S-11 and HO2S-21.
- DTC P1129 is for HO2S-12 and HO2S-22.
Refer to illustrations for HO2S identification. See Fig 1-Fig 3 . Measure resistance between HO2S SIG terminal at suspect HO2S wiring harness connector and appropriate HO2S SIG pin at PCM connector as follows:
- HO2S-11, PCM connector pin No. 60.
- HO2S-12, PCM connector pin No. 87.
- HO2S-21, PCM connector pin No. 35.
- HO2S-22, PCM connector pin No. 61.
If resistance is less than 5 ohms, fault is intermittent and cannot be duplicated at this time. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, HO2S wiring is crossed. Recheck all HO2S wiring pin locations at PCM and HO2S connectors. Repair as necessary.
