Omega General Help / Code 0036 and 0141 on 2.2. Auto

« on: 20 September 2013, 10:12:47 »

Hi Guys

Over the last few months my emission light has been coming on once or twice a month - I have a code reader and have recorded 0036 and 0141 codes (mostly 0141) I reset them and wait for the next occurrence. As I guess I expected it now comes on each day with an 0141 code which of course identifies O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2). I have scoured the forum and have read a number of similar posts but none seems to identify which of the two sensors it refers to and it seems clear that sometimes the code may be misleading and I am obviously loathed to replace anything unless I am reasonably sure it is the problem.

I didn't mention it but the car runs fine with no obvious indication of any problems.

So my questions are:
1 - Which sensor is Bank 1 Sensor 2?
2 - Is it likely to be the problem?
3 - Any other suggestions?

I have a facelift 2002 2.2 Petrol with an EML problem. I am planning to buy a Sealey Code Reader (VS8699) to have a look. Is this device suitable and where does it connect?

Thanks for any help offered

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Facelift 2.2 Overheating

« on: 20 November 2010, 17:45:14 »

I think I may have a problem with overheating. Although it never overheats the temp gauge is suddenly reading higher than it used to. I think it might be something to do with the fan not cutting in when it should. Does a sensor switch the fan directly or does some engine management system do it? Also where is the sensor?
