P0036

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0036 indicates that there is a problem with the circuit for the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in bank 1, sensor 2. This sensor is responsible for monitoring the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases and providing feedback to the engine control module (ECM) to adjust the fuel mixture accordingly. A malfunction in this circuit can cause the engine to run poorly or emit excessive emissions.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Poor engine performance

  • Reduced fuel efficiency

  • Increased emissions levels

Possible Causes:

  • Failed heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

  • Faulty wiring or connections in the circuit

  • Loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Failed engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Heated Oxygen Sensor: This is one of the parts that fails very commonly. It measures the amount of oxygen to ensure proper combustion. Problems in the Oxygen Sensor lead to poor fuel economy

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

  • Check and repair any damaged wiring or connections

  • Tighten or clean any loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Replace the engine control module (ECM) if necessary
