Which code is it? It should say which bank and what not. Best bet is to go to Autozone and get the codes checked for free.

you do! you just haven't figured it out yet.
all you gotta do is go to the stickies and then you can teach yourself how to diagnose it, awesome right?
rear one is in the cat.
right and left banks correspond to their group of cylinders either 135 or 246. your manual can tell you which is which. i think 135 is closer to the cabin of the car.
