The passenger side is bank 2. If you are standing in front of the car facing the front of the engine the left side is bank 2.

All positions are done from the drivers seat as to left and right and front to rear as in left bank and right bank

p0430 in my case was catalytic deficiency. My very honest and trustworthy mechanic told me it's not the same as a broken catalyst, so he said to drive it until I could replace the cats. It cost me about $600 to replace the cat. In the meantime, I did the anti fouler trick to keep the code from tripping.
