B009F high Severity

B009F: Right Side Restraints Sensor 6 (Subfault)

Airbag/occupant restraint system may not deploy properly; safety systems compromised

Overview

B009F indicates a fault in the vehicle body restraint system, specifically the right side restraints sensor 6. Common causes include damaged wiring, faulty crash sensor, or airbag control module issues.

Common Symptoms

  • Airbag warning light illuminated on dashboard
  • Possible other body electrical anomalies

Most Common Causes

Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors to right side restraints sensor medium

Electrical connection issues are frequently d in community and technical references for this sensor fault.

Faulty right side restraints sensor 6 medium

Sensor internal failure can trigger the B009F subfault condition.

Faulty airbag control module low

Less common but possible cause when other components test normal.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Read all stored codes with a qualified OBD2 scan tool supporting body DTCs
    Expected: B009F and no other unrelated codes
    Interpretation: Confirm primary fault before proceeding
  2. Visually inspect wiring harness and connectors around right side restraint sensor
    Expected: No open circuits, corrosion, or damaged connectors
    Interpretation: Find obvious electrical issues that could cause intermittent signal faults
  3. Perform continuity and resistance checks on sensor wiring to airbag control module
    Expected: Continuity within OEM specifications
    Interpretation: Verifies integrity of wiring; out of spec indicates wiring repair required
  4. Test or replace right side restraints sensor 6
    Expected: Sensor should operate within spec with correct voltage/signal
    Interpretation: If sensor fails, replacement is likely required

Repair Solutions

Repair wiring/connectors to restore proper electrical continuity medium
Estimated Cost: $50 - $200

Repair cost varies based on accessibility and extent of wiring issues

Replace right side restraints sensor 6 medium
Estimated Cost: $100 - $400

Includes sensor part and labor; varies with make/model

Replace or reprogram airbag control module hard
Estimated Cost: $400 - $800

Only after confirming module fault; high labor and parts cost

Common Misdiagnoses

Avoid these common diagnostic mistakes:

  • Interpreting as general body electrical fault unrelated to airbag restraint sensor
