B0097Right Side Restraints Sensor 2
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B0097 is the second right-side crash sensor. Mitsubishi fixes it at the right B-pillar, lists it as B-PILLAR SAT SEN RH and gives Right Side Restraints Sensor 2 as the J2012 name. Only subtype -55 appears there: the unit flags, after two seconds with the ignition on, that the stored configuration does not match the fitted sensors. Honda's request AER17060A confirms the numbering with B0097-87, meaning the second right side impact sensor has gone quiet on 2016–2017 Fit and HR-V cars. On a pillar an acceleration satellite is the usual choice; Bosch fits such units to B- and C-pillars, sills or seat cross members. Not every maker uses this code: FCA reports its right B-pillar acceleration sensor on the 2025 Ram 1500 as B2764, and Saab 9-3/9-5 use B0097 for the driver belt buckle switch circuit. While stored, the airbag lamp stays on.
