"Post-cat" refers to an oxygen sensor located after the catalytic converter, while "pre-cat" refers to an oxygen sensor located before the catalytic converter. The post-cat sensor monitors the efficiency of the catalytic converter, while the pre-cat sensor helps regulate the air-fuel mixture before it reaches the converter.
