B0096

Right Side Restraints Sensor 1

B0096 is described as “Right Side Restraints Sensor 1” in the Generic OBD2 reference. Other reference families are shown below; select the scope relevant to your vehicle.

Some scan tools (for example GM and Ford dealer tools) display this code with a failure-type suffix, such as B0096-00 or B0096:00; the base code B0096 is the same.

What do Bank and Sensor mean?

Bank 1 is the side containing cylinder 1. Bank 2 is the other side on V or flat engines; inline engines have only Bank 1. Cylinder numbering depends on the engine, so check the manufacturer’s layout.

For exhaust oxygen sensors, Sensor 1 is upstream, closest to the engine; Sensor 2 is downstream, after the catalyst. Confirm the exact sensor layout in the vehicle’s service information.
