What Does B0095 Mean?
This code indicates the Airbag Control Module (ACM) has detected a subfault or internal error within the right frontal impact sensor circuit. This sensor is responsible for detecting frontal collision forces on the right side of the vehicle to trigger airbag deployment. A subfault typically means the sensor has detected an anomaly in its own internal diagnostics, such as calibration drift, intermittent signal issues, or component degradation.
Safety Warning
This is a critical safety issue as the airbag system may not deploy properly in a frontal collision on the right side, potentially causing serious injury. Vehicle should not be driven until repaired, and airbag warning light will remain illuminated indicating system is compromised.
Common Causes
45%
Faulty right frontal impact sensor with internal component failure or calibration drift
25%
Corroded or damaged wiring harness between ACM and right frontal impact sensor
20%
Poor electrical connection or loose connector at right frontal impact sensor
10%
Airbag Control Module internal fault or software corruption
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Perform visual inspection of right frontal impact sensor location (typically in right front fender or bumper reinforcement) checking for physical damage, water intrusion, or collision history that may have damaged sensor mounting
2
Step 2: Inspect wiring harness from right frontal impact sensor to ACM for chafing, corrosion, water damage, or rodent damage. Pay special attention to connector condition and terminal corrosion
3
Step 3: Using a digital multimeter, measure resistance across right frontal impact sensor connector pins (sensor disconnected) and verify readings match manufacturer specifications (typically 1-5 ohms depending on vehicle). Check for open or short circuits
4
Step 4: With ignition off, disconnect and reconnect right frontal impact sensor connector ensuring proper seating and clean terminals. Clear codes and monitor for immediate return of fault
5
Step 5: If fault returns immediately or resistance is out of specification, replace right frontal impact sensor and verify proper mounting torque and orientation per manufacturer specifications
6
Step 6: After repairs, clear all airbag codes, perform ACM self-test procedure, and road test vehicle to confirm airbag warning light remains off and no codes return

The most common cause of B0095 (Right Frontal Restraints Sensor (Subfault)) is: Faulty right frontal impact sensor with internal component failure or calibration drift
Typical repair costs for B0095 range from $250 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
This is a critical safety issue as the airbag system may not deploy properly in a frontal collision on the right side, potentially causing serious injury. Vehicle should not be driven until repaired, and airbag warning light will remain illuminated indicating system is compromised.
