P1127 - EXHAUST TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE, O2 SENSOR TESTS NOT COMPLETED

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 carrying out the key ON, engine running (KOER) self-test
  • Exhaust system below normal operating temperature
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the HO2S heater parameter identification (PIDs) to determine their ON/OFF state. DTC P1127 is present if the exhaust is below normal operating temperature.
