Default 2010 Suburban P0449

My wife called today that check engine light came on and she went to Pep Boys and they told her it was P0449 And they told her it could be up to 189 to fix. Now I can't do it because she is in CA and I am in NC but I want to purchase the parts myself and have them do it which would be cheaper I was wondering what all should be replaced and if i do get a chance to do it where is it all located have done research and found various parts.

I saw one on here now is it all the same for all the different years because I thought I read that for this year it might be in a different location.

Also keep in mind its an emissions issue and not a drive-ability issue, meaning she can drive it with that code for some time until you can get around to fixing it, it will not affect the way the vehicle performs...
Your only limiting factor would be a pending state emissions inspection...

Well that helps out allot because I am not going over there until mid Jan do you think it would be fine if she drove it until then so I can do it myself? Or should I just eat it and have her take it in?
