Drive it to advance or autozone and scan it. See why your light is on. Its free.

WOW that was fast!
Should be ok to drive but I would clear the code and make sure it doesn't come back. Before cat O2's will mess with your fuel/air mixture and cause a rich or lean condition for that bank. If it is infact a bad O2, you might want to replace it. Be warned, they're tough to get out. What I usually do is spray PB Blaster on it for a couple of days and then start the engine to warm up the pipes. When the pipes are warm or hot, the O2 should unscrew out of there. I've never been able to get an O2 out of a cold pipe yet.
