P2036: Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P20xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls
What does P2036 mean?
The EGT sensor on bank 2 sensor 2 reads above the upper plausibility limit — open signal or short to B+.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Common causes
- High Open signal line
- Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
Add your car to see reports of P2036 on the same make and model first.
