Pinpoint Test - R DTC: B0095:11, B0095:81, B0095:93
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to Supplemental Restraint System for schematic and connector information.
The RCM monitors the RH front impact severity sensor and circuits for the following faults:
- Open circuit
- Short to voltage
- Short to ground
- Faulted RH front impact severity sensor
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0095:11, B0095:81 or B0095:93 in memory and sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the airbag warning indicator.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B0095:11 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a short to ground on the RH front impact severity sensor feed circuit. |
| B0095:81 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: Invalid Serial Data Received | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted RH front impact severity sensor or an open circuit on the sensor feed or return circuits. |
| B0095:93 | Right Frontal Restraints Sensor: No Operation | A fault is indicated when the RCM senses a faulted RH front impact severity sensor or a short to voltage on the sensor feed circuit. |

PINPOINT TEST A : B0095:11, B0095:81, B0095:93
- WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) deployment. Never compromise or depart from these instructions. Failure to precisely follow all instructions could result in serious personal injury from an accidental deployment.
- NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
- NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
- NOTE: Only disconnect or reconnect SRS components when instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect diagnosis of the SRS.
- NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part number listed in the parts catalog to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may set.
- NOTE: Do not probe any impact sensor. The impact sensor cannot be tested using a multi-meter
- NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Was DTC B0095:11, B0095:81 or B0095:93 retrieved on-demand during self-test?
Yes This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved on-demand during self-test. For DTC B0095:11, GO to A2 For DTC B0095:81 or B0095:93, GO to A5 No This is an intermittent fault when present as a CMDTC only.
