The oxygen sensor may use three or four wires depending on the vehicle, two are usually used for the sensor feedback to EMS ECU and the other wires are for the heater to power the heated circuit. Three wire sensors are usually grounded through the exhaust system, and four wire sensors have a separate ground wire. The P0036 code refers to the sensor after the catalytic converter on bank 1, which is on the side of the engine with the #1 cylinder. The heater circuit may be supplied power or ground by the EMS ECU. Overview: Code Cause Effect on Vehicle Fault Code: P0038-1B 1. Faulty Bank 1,2 HO2S (Heated Oxygen sensor) 2. Open in the heater control circuit (12 volt PCM controlled systems) 3. Short to B+ (battery voltage) in the heater control circuit (12 volt PCM controlled systems) 4. Open ground circuit (12 volt PCM controlled systems) 5. Short to ground on heater control circuit (On PCM ground controlled systems Most likely you'll not notice any symptoms other than the MIL Trouble Shooting Steps: Sr. No. Steps Specifications Step 1 Check for any open circuit inside oxygen sensor Continuity Step 2 Check for corrosion at exhaust system Functionality Step 3 Check for Wiring/connectors broken/frayed leading to sensor and/or relay Physical check Step 4 Check oxygen sensor heater circuit wiring Functionality Step 5 Check ECU Functionality
