What is a P0136 code mean?

What is a P0136 code mean?

Your Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the voltage levels provided by your O2 sensors to regulate your engine’s fuel injector pulse. If you are seeing code P0136, it means that the O2 sensor behind your catalytic converter on bank 1 is malfunctioning.

What does the OBD-II code p0136 mean?

What the P0136 code means P0136 is the OBD-II generic code indicating the downstream O2 sensor for bank 1 fails to meet the minimum and maximum voltage limits calibrated for the ECM to see. What causes the P0136 code? The ECM monitors the O2 sensor’s highest and lowest voltages.

What causes the p0136 Ford oxygen sensor to malfunction?

P0136 FORD Possible Causes Faulty Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection Inappropriate fuel pressure Faulty fuel injectors Intake air leaks may be faulty Exhaust gas leaks What does this mean?

When to set p0136 on HO2 sensor?

If the ECM detects low HO2Sensor voltage for an extended period, it will set P0136 Conditions required to set: HO2 sensor voltage is low for longer than 2 minutes (minutes depend on model of vehicle. Could be up to 4 minutes) There may be no visible symptoms to the driver.

What is the OBD code for bank 1?

OBD-ii Code P0136 definition: Essentially the same as P0137, a P0136 code definition:the second oxygen sensor on Bank 1. The O2 oxygen sensor produces a voltage between .1 mV and .9 mV. The ECM monitors O2 sensor voltage and determines if exhaust is lean or rich. O2 sensor voltage is high when exhaust is rich and low when exhaust is lean.
