Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:
Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 1 sensor 2
Bank 2 sensor 2

Some manufacturers use a kind of shorthand that reads different, but means the same thing:
Sensor 1/1 or O2s 1/1
Sensor 2/1 or O2s 2/1
Sensor 1/2 or O2s 1/2
Sensor 2/2 or O2s 2/2

Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of coarse, Bank 2 is the opposite side.
On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.

Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (The one located BEFORE the catalytic converter)
Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.

Hope helps (remember to rate this).

SOURCE: Need to know location of Bank 1 Sensor 1 on engine

If I am not mistaken bank one should be your driver side. However your sensor one will be before the cat converter. So you just have to find the o2 sensor before the cat converter on the driver side. Good Luck.

How to access bank 1 sensor 1 3.5 gm motor 2000 olds intrigue

To access Bank 1 Sensor 1 you need to know what it means. Some of what I write you may already know. Every engine that has one cylinder head has one bank. Every engine that has two cylinder heads has two banks. Bank 1 always contains cyl. 1. On this engine, Bank 1 contains cylinders 1-3-5 and Bank 2 contains cylinders 2-4-6. Now lets talk about sensor 1. Each cylinder head has its own catalytic converter and each catalytic convertor has two 02 sensors. The Upsteam 02 sensor is Sensor 1 (the sensor before the CAT). The Downstream 02 sensor is Sensor 2 (sensor after the CAT). You are looking for the Upsteam 02 sensor on bank 1. I'm also proving a video that is similar to what you are working on and will need to do, to access that 02 sensor. Any questions, please write back. Good Luck.

Need to know placement of heated oxygen sensor

The O2 sensors are located in the exhaust piping.
One (bank 1) is on the engine side of the Catalytic convertor.
Second (bank 2) is on the other side (exhaust end).

There are manufacturers that make universal fits that will go in either location. Be sure to specify the rear sensor when you go to the parts store.

It will look like this....

It threads right into the exhaust pipe.
