Well with a 106k on the clock I'd go with you need a new oxygen sensor.

If you read the codes then you have the ability to clear them. Did u try clearing and see if it comes back ?

A new O2 sensor will fix this, clearing the code should be done after fixing this, clearing the code will not fix the faulty O2 sensor. ECU will not necessarily go into Limp Mode every time a code is thrown.

If you had Googled "P0036 HO2S Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 2)" you would have found your problem here which tells you what's wrong with your car.

Replace the other o2 sensor then. See what happens. Is it the same code that keeps popping up?

So you are getting a CEL with no codes and it won't reset? Are you tuned?

Disconnect the battery for an hour then reconnect, that should reset the ECU. Which O2 sensor did you replace, Bank 1 Sensor 1 or Bank 1 Sensor 2?

It must be the wiring, time to have a continuity test between where you connect the O2 sensor and the ECU.

i never did figure it out, couldn’t afford to keep throwing parts at the car, ended up selling it but still stuck on it afterwards thinking what it could’ve been I landed on most likely my issue being the diverter valve. Hope that helps!
