Hello,

I need to replace o2 bank 1 sensor 2 because the engine code is p0136. I found 3 sensors but I'm not sure which one it is. Is the sensor the one that connects under the driver side seat after catalytic converter or is it located somewhere else? What is the spec for voltage and ohms because one sensor the one under the seat 13.5 when the car is cold and the other sensor in front of the engine which I think its bank 2 sensor 1, I get 1.5 ohms. Do you also know the OEM part number for the o2 sensor? Thank you

The P0136 OBD-II Trouble Code in your 2001 Toyota Highlander refers to "O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)".

Here's an explanation of what this means:

Problem: This code indicates that there is an issue with your vehicle's oxygen sensor, specifically the second oxygen sensor in bank 1. The oxygen sensors are responsible for helping the engine control module (ECM) regulate the air-fuel mixture in the engine. The Sensor 2 that the code refers to is the sensor that is located after the catalytic converter (also known as the downstream sensor).

Symptoms: Symptoms of a P0136 code can include:

The Check Engine Light coming on
Poor fuel economy
Poor vehicle performance, such as lack of power or rough running
In some cases, there may be no noticeable symptoms besides the Check Engine Light

Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Thank you. Do you know the OEM part number for it? I found Denso 234-4215 but I am not sure if that is the OEM part number.
