SRS fault code

B0095-49: Right Front Impact Sensor Fault

The right frontal acceleration sensor has failed its own internal test and told the Occupant Restraint Controller so. B0095-49 is the ORC writing that report down and pulling the restraint system offline.

Hardware fault

What B0095-49 means

B0095 names the right side frontal acceleration sensor, the one feeding the ORC crash information from the passenger corner of the front end. The module compares what both front sensors report before it decides anything. When the right sensor declares its own electronics bad, the ORC has lost half that comparison and stops trusting the input entirely.

A -49 suffix means the sensor diagnosed itself rather than the module diagnosing the wiring. Sensors that flag an internal failure generally do not come back after a battery disconnect or a code clear. Before ordering the part, confirm it is getting clean supply voltage and a solid ground, because a sensor fed poorly can report faults that belong to the feed instead.

Common causes

Crash data or hardware fault?

Nothing about this code is stored crash history. The sensor is announcing a present tense hardware problem, and it will keep announcing it every time the key turns until the part is changed. Crash data sits in a separate place in the module, gets written the moment airbags fire, and stays locked there until the module is reset by someone with the equipment to do it.

Does our reset clear it?

Sending the module in will not bring a failed sensor back. The reset service addresses stored deployment data inside the ORC, so it belongs in this repair only when the truck was in a wreck and the module is holding that record too. Replace the sensor, finish the physical repairs, and then mail the module if crash data is part of the picture.

Which makes throw it

The make on file for B0095-49 is Ram. It pairs with B0090 on the left side, and the two codes behave the same way, so the diagnosis you run on one applies to the other with the sides reversed.

What to do next

Verify the code and suffix on a scan tool before spending money, since B0095 with a wiring suffix is a different job. From there, inspect the sensor mounting and connector on the right front. Look for crash damage, corrosion, and a loose bracket, then measure supply voltage and ground at the connector. A sensor that still reports internal failure on good power gets replaced with a genuine OEM part, and we can match one by VIN at 501-988-0611. Related codes: B0090-87, B0099-96, B0088.
