B0095 code meaning
Right Frontal Restraints Sensor
What B0095 means
B0095 is the right-hand partner of B0090: an acceleration satellite in the right front crumple zone that lets the airbag module judge early how severe a frontal hit is. Honda's Fit and HR-V of model years 2016–2017 use the code this way, B0095-87 meaning the right front impact sensor sends nothing; in request AER17060A Honda asked dealers to report such cars before any repair. On the Ram 1500, FCA stores B0095-49 for an internal electronic failure of the right frontal acceleration sensor. STAR case S2408000050 traces repeat faults to a replacement sensor whose part number does not suit the restraint controller, and TSB 08-150-26 reprograms the controller on 2025 trucks. Mitsubishi once recalled Lancers because salty water could corrode the front impact sensors. With B0095 set, the airbag lamp is lit.
B0095 at a glance
- Check engine lightUsually not
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor0.5 to 3 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of B0095
- Airbag warning lamp on, often after front-end repair
- Frontal impacts on the right are judged later or less precisely
- Safety note: airbag system; disconnect the battery and keep the wait time before touching the sensor, specialist workshop only
Common causes of B0095
- Most likelyReplacement sensor part number not matching the restraint controller (FCA S2408000050)
- PossibleWater or road salt in the sensor housing or plug at the right front
- PossibleRestraint controller software needing a reflash (FCA TSB 08-150-26)
- Less likelyInternal failure of the right front acceleration sensor
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of B0095 means
| B | Body system: airbags, seat belts, power seats, lights and climate control. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 95 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note B0095 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about B0095
What does B0095 mean?
B0095 means "Right Frontal Restraints Sensor". B0095 is the right-hand partner of B0090: an acceleration satellite in the right front crumple zone that lets the airbag module judge early how severe a frontal hit is. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with B0095?
B0095 does not normally turn on the check engine light by itself. Watch for the symptoms above and have it checked soon.
Will B0095 fail an emissions test?
B0095 is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is B0095 to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 3 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will B0095 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
