O2 sensors are more likely to go bad long before catalytic converter. Take it to just about any auto parts store and they can run an OBD2 scan and give you the exact code or codes. I picked up an OBD2 scanner about 10 years ago at Harbor Freight Tools. Works great. One of the best 40 bucks I've ever spent. Good luck with your car.
