ok, i started getting a code for low activity, bank one senson 2. i went to switch the sim from that side to the passenger side to see if the code would follow, and now i have no activety codes for both sides. checked them both and they are both in right. im so confused as to what it could be.

That is strange, maybe the scanner is showing the bank 1 code as a history code? Have you tried just resetting the PCM independent of the scanner?

alright, im wondering if the reason i got the 2 no activity codes was do to the fact they were unpluged with the battery connected, would this cause the computer to throw the code?

Not sure, probably not if the key was off the whole time, I'm thinking it would take a couple of ignition cycles to throw a new code. I'd do a PCM reset/disconnect the battery, then read the code(s) again. What was the original code?

when this all started, the code was for low activity, bank one sensor two. then i went to swap them from one side to another. i went to autozone to get it pulled and there was 2 codes, for no activity on both sides. drove it home and the light came back on about 10 miles later, still not sure what the code is this time.

What was the original code? how would i do that? i unhooked the battery but the light was still on, do i have to unplug the computer?

You don't have to unplug the computer - just disconnecting the battery for a few minutes should've made the light go off and clear any codes. If the SES came back on immediately the problem is still there. Here's how I used to reset mine before I got the Predator:

Turn key on, don't start car
Pull PCM BATT and PCM IGN fuses in engine compartment
Wait 5-10 min
Turn ignition off
Replace fuses

Don't know if the procedure is the same for your car, maybe an LT1 guy can chime in and verify.

Or just take the negative cable and hold it against the postive terminal for about 10 sec and that should clear the pcm capacitors.

figured it out, its just one sim, i guess cause i switched them with out clearing the original code(no activity bank 1, sensor2) that code was read when i pulled them the last time. i just went to autozone, pulled the code, and only got 2 codes for the bank 2 sensor 2. cleared them and then drove till it came back on, same thing. so its in the sensor that was originaly on the drivers side.

Glad you got it - you had the right idea from the beginning - just would've been easier if you had your own scanner. So "blinky" doesn't always mean "worky." :)
