Hello
Thanks for the donation
Sensor 1 refers to the oxygen sensor closest to the engine. Bank 2 refers to the side that the number 2 cylinder is on. Below is a firing order diagram so you know which side is Bank 2 of your engine..
You can always test the sensor before replacing it. To learn how to test an oxygen sensor, follow the link below..

So, am I replacing the sensor before the cat conv. or after it?

Starting from the rear of the vehicle and moving towards the front, it will be after the converter. One closest to engine.
