P0037 on Nissan: Causes, Symptoms and Fix Cost
Quick Answer
Low SeveritySafe to drive (short-term)Nissan
P0037 on a Nissan means the engine computer measured too little current or too low a voltage in the heater circuit of the downstream oxygen sensor on bank 1, the one after the catalytic converter. That is what a burned-out heater, a blown fuse or a broken supply wire produces. The sensor only checks the converter, so the car usually drives exactly as before. A new downstream sensor typically costs about 110 to 270 EUR fitted.

Nissan Juke (HR16DE/MR16DDT)
2010-2019Nissan's confirmation test for P0037 on the Juke (both the 1.6 HR16DE and the 1.6 DIG-T MR16DDT) holds the warm engine at 3,500-4,000 rpm for at least a minute without load and then idles it for a minute. Short town trips after a repair may therefore not re-run the check, so the light staying off for a day or two does not yet prove the fix.
Nissan 350Z (VQ35HR)
2007-2009The VQ35HR V6 in the later 350Z has a heated oxygen sensor after each bank's catalytic converter, and P0057 is the same fault on bank 2. Nissan's manual gives the heater resistance as 3.4-4.4 ohms at 25 C, lists a 15 A fuse in the supply, and switches this heater on only below 3,600 rpm once the engine is warm.
What causes P0037 on a Nissan?
Beyond the generic causes listed on the main P0037 page, these are the patterns noted for Nissan models:
Nissan Juke (HR16DE/MR16DDT)Burned-out heater in the downstream heated oxygen sensor
Nissan Juke (HR16DE/MR16DDT)Open or shorted harness between the sensor, its fuse and the engine computer
Nissan 350Z (VQ35HR)Burned-out heater in the bank 1 downstream sensor
Nissan 350Z (VQ35HR)Blown 15 A heater fuse or an open in the supply harness
How to diagnose P0037 on a Nissan with OBD2
Follow these steps to pinpoint the root cause of P0037:
- Read all stored codes and freeze frame. P0037 together with P0031, P0057 or other heater codes points to a shared fuse, relay or supply wire rather than several failed sensors
- Check the oxygen sensor heater fuse named in the owner's manual or on the fuse box lid. Replace it if blown, and if it blows again look for a short in the heater or its wiring
- Raise the car safely, unplug the Bank 1 Sensor 2 connector and measure the resistance across the two heater pins. Many downstream sensors read between about 3 and 15 ohms at room temperature; check your car's specification. An open circuit means the heater has burned out
- With the key on, check for battery voltage on the heater supply pin on the harness side of the connector. No voltage points to the fuse, relay or supply wire
- Inspect the connector and the wiring along the exhaust and underbody for corrosion, pushed-back pins, melted insulation or chafing, and repair as needed
- After the repair, clear the code and drive a mix of town and steady faster driving. With a generic OBD2 reader, check that the oxygen sensor heater and catalyst readiness monitors complete before an inspection
