More than likely bank 1 sensor has a possible vacuum leak, or a lean misfire on that side of the bank.(lean misfire happens when gap of spark plug are exceed due to wear), As for the 02 sensor I agree that it is reporting the true engine condition on that side of the bank

Po171 01 sonoma 2.2 ex cab

The code is for the O2 sensor in bank one. The sensor is telling the computer the fuel mixture is too lean so the computer causes the injectors to have longer "on" time to richen the mixture.
The sensor could be faulty, or something in the engine such as a vac leak or other problem.

2000 gmc jimmy code po171 how to fix it

if i remember correctly that code is running lean on bank one (drivers side) of engine. normally the cause of this code is that the left side o2 sensor in front of the cat. converter is not reading correctly. to fix the problem i would first stop at a parts sore where they do free system scans to erify that is is that particular sensor. if that is the case then the solution is to replace it with a new one. hope this is of help, thanks

P0171 - Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
YOU WILL NEED TO AVE THE DEALER TEST THE O2 SENSOR FOR PROPER SWITCHING, RIGHT NOW IT SHOWS ALWAYS LEAN, THIS MAY BE THE SENSOR OR THE ENGINE MAY REALLY BE LEAN ON FUEL AIR RATIO, AS FAR AS THE SMOKE GOES THE 2 ARE PROBABLY NOT RELATED, HOW MANY MILES ON CAR? IF THE MILES ARE HIGH THEN REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR ON THE CYLINDER BANK WHERE # 1 CYLINDER IS LOCATED, THE SENSOR IS THE ONE BEFORE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

My code reader is showing a code of 171 O2 sensor bank one

Po171 is a lean condition on bank one ( only one) o2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter. Could be a mass air also could be a vacuum leak. or a bad o2 so dont jump to expersive parts unless you have another car to swap stuff around
