What Low Temp Alarm
actually means.
During a cook the Coyote controller watches for the grill temperature to drop by 50°F. When it does, the alarm comes up, and unless the continue button is pressed the grill goes into shutdown. Coyote's own list of causes is a pellet jam, a burner pot that is out of position, and the timeout set for the alarm in the menu.

What to do when Low Temp Alarm shows on the grillKind of codePellet feed and auger
Pellets stopped reaching the firepot. Sometimes the hopper simply ran low and a pellet bridge formed over the auger; more often damp pellets swelled into a hard plug inside the auger tube, or the auger motor strains and stalls against it. Emptying the hopper of soft or crumbled pellets and refilling with dry ones is a fair first step; clearing a packed auger tube, a sheared pin or a motor that hums without turning is a visit.

On a Coyote call, the tech clears the firebox of grease and debris before judging a weak burner, since a clogged tray can mimic a gas problem.

The C2P manual gives the shutdown after 22 minutes in its settings section but a default timeout of five minutes in its troubleshooting table, so check the value in your grill's settings menu. On the older C1P grills the same drop brings up a temperature warning screen with the same 22-minute window.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Coyote's own guidance for Low Temp Alarm on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look in the hopper first and top it up with dry pellets if it is running low.
If the fire is still burning, press continue and watch whether the temperature climbs back.
If the grill shuts down, let it cool completely, unplug it and follow the manual's jam steps under the hopper grate and auger cover; book a visit if the alarm returns with a clear auger and a correctly placed pot.

What not to do
This alarm reports a fire that has faded, not a failed sensor, and it is the opposite of the Overheat Alarm. A grill that keeps its fan running after you pressed stop is in its normal cooldown, not shutting down on this alarm.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied exactly, the model and serial from the rating label, and a word on whether the grill still lights, heats or feeds pellets. With those three the office can match the likely part to your grill the same day.
