That is a low signal error from the right bank upstream oxygen sensor. In most cases, it is caused by a weak oxygen sensor. Before replacing the oxygen sensor, double check fuel pressure, volume and quality. A low signal from the oxygen sensor can also be caused by a lean fuel condition.
SOURCE: where is the bank 2 sensor 1 located.
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.
Most GM engines have #1 cylinder located on the left bank, (or Driver's Side) of the engine,
So, the answer to your question would be that you are looking for the sensor located before the catalytic converter on the right (or Passenger Side) of the truck.

Hello!
the code you speak of relates strictly to the catalytic converter. it is possible there is a faulty sensor, however that choice is highly unlikely. Catalytic converters carry a 5/50 7/70 and 8/80 warranty depending upoin the state you live in...this may be a repair covered under manufacturers warranty. this code is becoming very prevelant in many auto lines as a result of the insurgence of ethanol dilution of our fuels. the "10%" ethanol sticker is located on most pumps. Most vehicles on the road today are not flex fuel capable and this ethanol is wreaking havoc on our fuel and emission systems, especially the catalytic converters. the converters are caked with deposits from the ethanol, reducing its effeciency. if your have access to well worth branded products (not available in ANY parts store, typicaly dealers and repair shops only) try adding on succesive tank loads of fuel their product called Octi-Plus. this products helps remove ethanol products, and very well may save yoiu big $$$ for that converter repair bill...i hope this helps..check out this link....

ps i appreciate your 4 thumbs up if this helps you!

bank 1 will be the side with cylinder #1 sensor one will be the first sensor on that pipe

If all connections are good "dry, tight, no corrosion" then yes. It should be a defective sensor. These sensors are piezo sensors and create a voltage when sensing a knock. A bank refers to a side on a V style engine, 2 refers to the rear sensor on your bank 2. Bank 1 should be the side with cylinder #1 which should be the cylinder closest to you on one of the sides. So your looking for the rear sensor on the opposite side.
