Bank's is the left or right side of the engine. Bank 1 would be where the #1 spark plug side is and Bank 2 is where the #2 spark plug side. This term is used to better describe which side is which on an engine so as to not get confused to which side is which on a engine.
Thank you for using FIxya, what ever code's you have as a trim malfunction. It's indicating a Lean or rich condition on both sides of your engine, try cleaning your MAF sensor and inspecting it for any wire damages. This should fix your trim problem on both banks.

Code po365 kia optima 2013 check engine light came on kia check it out said all check out good.but light went out and later light came back on?

It means:
P0365: Camshaft Position Sensor 'B' Circuit Malfunction Bank 1
One website I looked at did not even list this engine code but I went to the following link and it was listed:
https://www.autocodes.com/make/kia/9
If you took it to a Kia dealership, I would talk to the service manager or his/her boss to get a definitive answer.

I had an diagnostic test done on my 2007 kia optima and it read p0170 fuel trim (bank1) what does this mean

code p0170 refers to two problems
fuel trim bank 1 --malfunction
heated oxygen sensor(HO2S) 3 bank1 --circuit malfunction
for the first error==causes-- intake leak --AIR system---fuel pressure /pump---injectors--EVAP canister purge valve---HO2S
for the second one ===causes=--wiring--HO2S---ECM
The explanation of fuel trim is long winded and you may get some typo errors but I think that you will get the idea
short and long term fuel trim refers to the strategy used to reduce exhaust emissions after a basic computation of injector period, using engine load as a major parameter
both front and rear oxygen sensors signals are used to fine tune the air/fuel mixture by increasing or decreasing the injection period =/- 25% above or below the basic level
any fault requiring a correction beyond this level will result in a fault code being logged ( in this case p0170)
the fuel trim will oscillate the injection period =/- 5% above or below the mean level level A
manufacturing and in-service tolerances of load sensors (MAP,MAF, VAF) and injectors in particular and faults such as intake leaks( vacuum hoses from vent controls and transmission) will affect the air/fuel mixture and cause the trim to compensate
an air intake leak for instance would increase the injection period increasing for example to 115-125%. this level will also oscillate +/- as before level B
this new short term fuel trim level will be stored in the ECM if it is established as a new basic mixture level
It will become a long term fuel trim correction and results in the correct mixture level immediately after starting, even when the HO2S has had sufficient time to heat up
Now having some idea of what trim is, you will see the necessity of repairing any problem sensors ,air leaks ,vacuum leaks
You will also probably understand the reason of why an engine after running short runs ( city driving) feels that it gets more power and better economy after 1/2 hour on the open highway
The ECM resets the trim to the new load power settings and that becomes the new trim

Try changing the fuel filter first. Then you will have to clear the code with a jumper.

Check engine light on p1154 diagnostic 2002 kia optima 2300 mi

Kia:Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1 Transition
I just had this happen on mine. I will reset code and wait.
If it comes on and it was not a fluke I will replace the O2
sensor on Bank 2 which I think is the rearward bank on our
2.x 6 cylinder Optima 2002 SEV6.

P0170 Troubleshooting code for 2007 Kia spectra ex. What does this mean and how to fix?

It is a fuel trim malfuntion.

Most of the time a simple fuel filter change will fix the problem.

You will need to clear the code with a jumper.

DO NOT disconnect the battery for 20 seconds or you will have to recode your alarm and radio.
