DTC P1127: Fuel Control: Condition
DTC P0127 indicates that HO2S heater was not on during KOER self-test and testing of HO2S did not occur. Possible cause is cool exhaust system. To prevent replacement of good components, be aware the following non-EEC areas may be cause of driveability concerns:
- Ignition system.
- Faulty evaporative emission system.
- EGR and/or PCV system.
- Air intake system.
- Engine oil contamination.
- Fuel system.
- Exhaust system leaks or restriction.
- Engine cooling 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 are off, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect suspect sensor connector. Check connector. Repair as necessary. Check sensor heater resistance. See SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - EXCEPT B2500, B3000 & B4000 article. If heater is okay, go to next step. If heater is faulty, replace sensor and go to step 5.
- Turn ignition on. Check voltage at harness connector terminal "C". If 10.5 volts or more is present, go to next step. If less than 10.5 volts is present, repair open circuit and go to step 5.
- Turn ignition off. Check continuity between harness connector terminal "D" and negative battery terminal. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit and go to next step.
- Clear PCM memory. Perform test drive utilizing all phases of vehicle operation. Perform QUICK TEST . If DTC P1127 is still present, replace PCM. After repair, go to next step. If DTC P1127 is not present, go to next step.
- If any DTCs are present, go to appropriate test for repair. If no DTCs are present, test is complete.
