Bank 2 is the right side! (starboard? right side from the driver's seat) P0051 means there is an open circuit for the oxygen sensor heater. It is not too uncommon tor these to fail. It is very easy to check the sensor. There are 4 wires going to it, 3 different colors. Measure the resistance across the 2 wires that are the same color. If the heater is good the resistance will be very low, like 10 ohms. If it is bad the circuit will be open, infinite resistance. I hope you kept the old sensor so you can put it put it in the other side, or put it back and put the new one in the other side.
