Car has check engine light on. I changed the cat on the bottom of the car but still has light on. I understand that it can be a o2 sensor but how would I know what banks each sensor belongs to? And on my engine I have 4 sensors positioned
1 passenger side 2 drivers side (top of engine)
3 passenger side 4 drivers side (bottom of engine)
What sensors have gone bad?

The code is for catalytic converter or O2 sensor of cylinder # 1 and # 4. It could be the wiring circuit that is at fault rather than the sensors.

I have the exact same car and error code. Bank 1 but would it be in the rear or front cat?

Thanks!
