Default error message on my code reader [ PO171

I am new at this but I am trying to get information from more knowledgeable Blazer owners.As you can see my code was [ PO171]System to lean bank one on my 2003 Blazer L/S 4.3 liter.I have added a fuel injector cleaner to a full tank of gas to see if it helps at all.This code just came on this morning and it also says the item at fault is the Engine Control Unit [2 ] anyone out there help me out like I said I am new to this posting but I enjoy working on my own if possible can anyone help me out.And hopefully this is a small module not the cars computer.

It might tell you in the owners manual for the code reader I would suspect the hard fault is no longer being detected, and the DTC was moved to a pending or history file in the PCM.

Default The code reader [Po117]

You know I used to have a smart *** teacher years ago that loved to say RTFB read the f,in book if that fails then ask me.The [3150] code reader don't have a instruction book like the older ones you have to go on line with your code and for $9.95 they will give you the answer to what the problem is but only for a hard code like the PO117 but not the yellow light flashing for a EVAP system still running its test,s on the IM system that is the only reason why I asked.
