I have a 2000 Legacy L wagon, standard transmission, 2.5 l engine, about 55,000 miles on it. The Check Engine light has been coming on & going off for the last couple of weeks, with no apparent relationship to anything, and no obvious change in performance.

 

I finally had a chance to take it in to my mechanic today & have him pull a code. He's not a Subaru specialist, and although he managed to get a code, he couldn't figure out what it meant, so I'm hoping someone here could help out.

 

The code he pulled - P1136 - has no reference to any Subaru item in his documentation, although it apparently points to a Chrysler O2 sensor, which doesn't help me any.

 

Does anybody out there know what this means?

 

Thanks in advance.

Very nice reference Frag.

 

P1136 is left front oxygen sensor circuit shorted.

Thanks, Frag - that is a great link. I'll pass it on to my mechanic.
