Re: Code 36
It actually means what it says the relay is bad not the sensor. We had this code on our GTA and didn't find out it was the relay until after we changed the sensor and read the service manual. We changed the relay and never had a problem again. $10 from advance. I just don't remember which one it was on the firewall.
