Since there's no CEL, I'd clear the codes, drive it a while, and run them again. If the same code appears again then you probably need a rear sensor. Do you have an ATX or MTX? Either way, the sensor is on the y-pipe, between the manifold and the catalytic converter on the side of the engine closest to the firewall.
