What it means
The restraint control module detected a fault associated with the right frontal restraints sensor. It sets the code when the sensor signal or its circuit fails the module's monitoring checks.
How it works
The right frontal restraints sensor supplies crash-related information to the restraint control module so it can assess a frontal impact. The code sets when the module finds that this sensor's signal or circuit does not pass its monitoring checks, which can affect frontal restraint deployment.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Faulty right frontal sensor
- Damaged or loose wiring
- Corroded connector
- Impact damage near the sensor
Symptoms
- Airbag warning light
- SRS warning message
- Airbags or pretensioners may not work as intended
How to diagnose it
- Read SRS codes and freeze-frame or event data with a compatible scan tool to confirm B0095 and see whether it is current or intermittent.
- Check the right frontal sensor area for signs of impact damage, displaced mounting, or recent repairs that may have disturbed it.
- With the restraint system made safe according to the vehicle service procedure, inspect the sensor connector and accessible wiring for looseness, corrosion, pin damage, or chafing.
- Check the right frontal sensor circuit for opens, shorts, or poor connections using the manufacturer's wiring diagram and test procedure.
- If the wiring and connections pass, test the right frontal sensor and restraint control module inputs as specified by the manufacturer.
Common fixes
- Reconnect and secure a loose right frontal sensor connector.
- Repair damaged wiring or clean and repair corroded connector terminals as specified.
- Correct sensor mounting or replace an impact-damaged mounting component.
- Replace the right frontal restraints sensor if it fails the specified test.
- Repair or replace the restraint control module only if its inputs or outputs fail the manufacturer's checks.
Can I keep driving?
The vehicle may still be driveable, but frontal airbags or pretensioners may not work as intended in a crash. Avoid unnecessary trips and have the SRS fault diagnosed promptly; do not probe or handle airbag wiring without following the vehicle's safety procedure.
A code shows where the control module detected a fault, not always which part failed. Check the causes in order and confirm with a test before replacing parts. Have several codes? Check them together
This is a generic code: it means the same on every make. The car’s maker may add more detail in its own service information.
