U0476Invalid Data Received From Restraints System Sensor F
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- How the car detects it
- U0476 is stored when restraints sensor F still reports but its values fail the receiver's checks. Chrysler's lists in NHTSA investigation PE11-019 make F the first right-side satellite acceleration sensor, fitted even to the four-sensor Wrangler JK; internal fault B1B75, lost contact U0175. The side has little crush space, so this sensor must deliver usable data within milliseconds. FMVSS 214 sets the side impact tests such sensors help pass, a moving deformable barrier and a pole impact. When the right sensor sends garbage, deployment of the right seat and curtain airbags is no longer assured. Airbag lamp on, no MIL.
