Question

what does the code p0036 mean for 2006 kia sportage

Answer 1

Hi there,

This code means there is an issue with the heated O2 sensor. Bank 1 sensor 2. This is the sensor AFTER the catalytic converter. The most common failure is the heater circuit inside the O2 sensor. It can also be the result of a bad fuse or faulty wiring to the sensor.
