B1S1 and B2S1, just replaced with Toyota Genuine Air/Fuel sensor.

P0171 code still came on after three hours driving.

Can old downstream Oxygen sensor trigger that code, and should I also renew it?

I would be looking for a vacuum leak before changing a o2 sensor that is usually what sets lean codes.

Also, down stream o2 sensor just helps check the health of the catalytic converter.
