2001tiburoncomputor codes, po136 & 141 what do they refer to.

code p 0136 refers to heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 bank 1 ---circuit malfunction===causes ---heating inoperative ---wiring---HO2S--- ECM
also refers to oxygen sensor (O2S0 2 bank 1---circuit malfunction===causes --- wiring---O2S ---ecm
it also refers to heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 bank 1 ---no signal===causes ---wiring --- HO2S---
code p 0137 refers to HO2S 2 bank 1 ---low voltage -===causes --exhaust leak---wiring short to ground ---HO2S--- ECM
it also refers to O2S 2 bank 1---low voltage ===causes exhaust leak---wiring short to ground ---O2S ---ECM
to set you up here-- there are 4 oxygen sensors in the system
2 are heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) on in each exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe before the cat converter and
2 oxygen sensors (O2S) -- one in each exhaust pipe after the cat converters
heated oxygen sensors have 4 wires and O2S sensors normally only 2 wires
it is more that possible that you changed the wrong sensors and in the process damaged the delicate wires with the incorrect spanner being used

both codes refer to O2 sensors. PO141 and PO136. 136 is sensor bank 1 sensor 2. 141 is bank 1 sensor 1. so this info will work on both sensors. This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop.
As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).
Symptoms You will likely notice poor fuel economy the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Causes A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

• open or short to ground in the wiring harness
• O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
• O2 heater element resistance is high
• Internal short or open in the heater element

Note: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.
Possible Solutions

• Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)
• Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors

PO171 is the 1st o2 sensor on bank 1. With that said a vacuum leak will also throw this same code so before I go changing an o2 sensor I would completely go over the engine and look for a vacuum line or intake leak. PO136 is the o2 sensor bank 1 the second sensor in the exhaust. Again here are some of the things that can cause this code. ( I always look for a vacuum leak somewhere first)

Check for wires rubbing-shorted-cut under the vehileor melted to exhaustsystem.

P0136 code refers to the second oxygen sensor on bank 1.

Hi, the P0141 is the O2 sensor, more info @ http://www.obd-codes.com/p0141 . Also P0506 code is Idle Air Controller problem - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0506

Sounds like the rear O2 sensor is at fault, you may try to replace it yourself, if you are mechanically inclined.

Hi. Here's the description of this code i pulled up out the archives. P0136 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2. i suspect the wires are worn or beginning to separate from the sensor housing.


please rate and god bless.

The po136 code is a bad 02 sensor, on cylinder bank #1
sensor #2, which is the downstream one. needs new one.
