except it wont be a code 1 or code II since it is OBD2.

43 is primary
65 is secondary

The sensors can be swapped. If you had autozone run the diagnostic, they should be able to give you the "official" error code which would be:

P0135 (primary)
P0141 (secondary)

The code reader wont give you the same code as a CEL would.

With either code, you can replace that sensor. While it wouldnt be hard to use trial and error, why waste all that time swapping sensors when you can just use the code and fix the right sensor the first time

I have personally used a "secondary" oxygen sensor as a primary with no issues. I want to say it is a different part # though. I am not sure, but I thought I saw two different part numbers listed on HT before when someone asked. I knew mine was a secondary because I pulled it from its secondary position and used it as a primary
