Default o2 sensor is throwing a code!

i have a 01 trans am ws6 with longtube headers and a catted ypipe, it also has a hptuner tune.....this last wednesday i had it inspected for pa inspection and it passed .....but when i picked it up the service engine light was on. i was thinking maybe whatever they did could have thrown it out of wack and maybe a retune co do it......i did hook it up to a obd2 reader and the codes were for a 02 sensor circuit malfunction. please let me know what it could be.

Bank 1 sensor 1 is the driver side pre-cat. Time for a new one man.

About 50-60 bucks each. I have had good luck with the Bosch ones. I use PN 13111, it's the vette rears, it is longer and doesnt require the extensions that you have to use with longtubes, and it has also been said to have a hotter "heater" in it, so they get to temp faster, which helps when you have longtubes cause the O2s are located further downstream. I would replace them as a pair. Damn what run-on sentence
