Yes, your car was thowing a rich code in one bank before. That was the beginning of your sensor failing, not a tune issue and not caused by the tune-- the ecu CAN'T be tuned to run richer in one bank than the other.
I'd read in several threads that they shut both off. That is also why I was confused & why I asked the question. After communicating with Karl from Active he answered my question.

I'm referring to the data logged not the code thrown from the failing 02.
