99---> 03 o2 Sensor discrepancies!
Hi all. I used to drive a 99 Solara. Did some research when my CEL came on and successfully replaced an o2 sensor. I bought 2 Denso 234-4622's at the time.

Well, I sold the 99 and attained an 03 Solara. When the familiar old CEL came on again, I was prepared with my extra 234-4622! I felt so lucky and smart to have bought a spare. Every part checker I used said the 234-4622 would also work in the 03 model, so I thought I was good. Repair time came, and I was wrong (or, the part checkers were wrong...) The plug on my 4622 does not fit Bank 2, sensor 1 (Error p0155). Seems a good match for that sensor is actually the 234-9021.

The plug seems to match, and my monstrous repair books seem to imply that that sensor needs to be an A/F sensor, not just a regular o2 sensor. A/F are basically advanced o2 sensors, correct?
So, a couple questions:
1) Is this the right sensor for Bank 2, Sensor 1?
2) Can my extra 234-4622 be used at all on my 03?
3) There are 3 sensors total on the 03 Solara, correct? Will I need 2 of the 234-9021's (B1S1 and B2S1) and 1 of something else? If so, which model?
Thanks in advance!
