I've been to a few places that read the check engine light code on OBD IIs. It seems they all read the same code P0430.

The reader stated the code was for "Bank 2" catalytic converter.

In order to make sure it was not the O2 sensors, I switched the passenger side and drivers side O2 sensors and stil got the same code. I know this does not eliminate other issues causing problems but I now know it was not the O2 sensors.

One question I cannot find the answer to is this -

Does "Bank 2" correspond to the drivers side or passenger side?

Thanks! This one has got me stumped as I've heard different things from different folks around my parts.
