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
