Faulty O2 Sensor
Lack of power
If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
Reduction in engine performance, especially at low RPM levels

The code just means that the sensor signal was not within specifications. An air leak or any of the above will cause an erroneous signal.

Some aftermarket accessories and performance modifications
Fuel with a large percentage of sulfur will clog the DPF quickly

Problem

Repair Processes :

With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground. If all testing has passed so far yet you still have the same code, check your scan tool and see if it can open and close the IMRC valve.
