CEL P0036 - HELP!!!!
I just finished installing a Magnaflow cat-back on the car and now the CEL is one showing a P0036 code, realting to a heater circuit. I have cleared the code but it comes on immediately and I do not want to drive the car if this is/will cause an issue. If anyone has some advice or experience with this please chime in!

Do you still have cat on your car? If you do check the last o2 sensor see if it was damage after you installed the cat-back. Or you can always buy a new sensor to fix it. If you don't have cat just buy some o2 bypass kit.

The p0036 code suggests your heater wire to the rear o2 sensor is broken or installed incorrectly or the a/f guage is wired incorrectly [switched grounds]. It could also be the heater circuit is opened internally but given you just did exhaust work I'd stick with the previous two. I found it here p0036 mini FYI, a sim won't fix a 36 code, only a 136 code.
