P0136 — Post-Cat O2 Sensor Circuit Fault (Bank 1)

P0136 is set when the ECM detects a general circuit fault on the Bank 1 downstream (post-catalyst) oxygen sensor. Unlike the more specific P0137 (low voltage), P0138 (high voltage), or P0140 (no activity), P0136 is the generic circuit code that covers wiring issues, intermittent connection problems, or signals that go outside expected ranges in a way that doesn't fit a more specific fault category.
