Interference or incorrect connections introduced
Diagnostic Steps
-
Connect an SRS‑capable scan tool and read all codesExpected: Retrieve B0095 and any related SRS codesInterpretation: Verifies the code and checks for additional faults
-
Perform visual inspection of wiring and connectors under front seats and sensorExpected: Look for broken wires, corrosion, loose pinsInterpretation: Identifies obvious wiring issues
-
Test sensor circuit continuity and resistance with a multimeterExpected: Continuity through harness and correct resistance per OEM specInterpretation: Open or high resistance indicates wiring or sensor fault
-
Monitor live data from the sensor using scan tool and perform voltage checksExpected: Stable valid sensor voltage within specified rangeInterpretation: Erratic or out‑of‑range voltage suggests sensor or wiring issue
-
Verify SRS control module communication and perform CAN bus integrity testExpected: Module acknowledges sensor address and responds correctlyInterpretation: Communication loss may indicate module or network issue
