Order of inspection

  1. P0036 HO2S Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 2) Low

    The P0036 code is the same heater circuit fault as P0030, but for the sensor behind the catalytic converter. Its location under the vehicle changes the odds: rubbed wiring, a connector full of water and salt corrosion count as much here as the sensor heater element itself.
