Causes

Open or short in sensor wiring (open, short to ground, short to battery)
Corroded, loose, or damaged connector at the sensor or harness
Water intrusion or contamination at sensor or connector
Faulty right side restraints sensor 2 (internal failure)
Faulty restraint control (SRS) module or internal software/firmware error
Recent collision or impact damage that affected the sensor/harness

Symptoms

SRS/Airbag warning lamp on steady or illuminated at startup
Possible supplemental restraint system disabled or limited functionality
Related occupant restraint warning messages on dash or information display
Vehicle stores B0097 (may be accompanied by other SRS codes)
No drivability symptoms in engine/transmission — fault is in restraint system

What to check

Retrieve/all stored SRS codes and freeze frame data with an appropriate scan tool
Inspect right side sensor, mounting, and nearby wiring for physical damage or water intrusion
Check connector mating condition, terminals, and signs of corrosion or deformation
Perform wiggle test on harness/connector while monitoring live data for changes
Verify presence of reference voltage and ground at the sensor connector with ignition on (use service manual values)
Measure sensor signal circuit resistance/continuity to the restraint control module

Signal parameters

Sensor typically uses a ground, a reference voltage (commonly 5 V), and a signal return — verify exact values in the vehicle service manual
Signal should show stable reference voltage with ignition on and a varying signal in response to movement/impact
Continuity to module typically in the low ohm range; open circuit or very high resistance indicates wiring break
CAN/serial data presence may be required for some sensor types — check module communication lines

Diagnostic algorithm

Use a compatible scan tool to read DTCs and live data from the SRS control module; record any additional codes or freeze frame values.
Visually inspect right-side seat/trim area and sensor mounting for damage, loose bolts, or water ingress. Check harness routing.
With ignition on, check for proper reference voltage and ground at the sensor connector per factory specifications (follow SRS safety procedures).
Perform continuity/resistance test from the sensor connector to the SRS module connector to locate opens or shorts.
Perform a wiggle test of the harness/connectors while monitoring live data to identify intermittent faults.
If wiring and connectors are good, replace the right side restraints sensor 2 with an OEM part and re-check.
After repair or replacement, clear codes and perform any required SRS/sensor calibration or initialization using the manufacturer scan tool.
Verify repair by rechecking for stored codes and confirming the SRS lamp is extinguished and no related warnings appear.

Likely causes

Damaged harness/connector at the right side sensor (most common)
Loose or corroded connector causing intermittent signal
Failed sensor element (accelerometer/impact sensor) requiring replacement

Fault status

⚠️ Status

Right side restraints sensor 2 circuit fault detected by the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control module. The SRS warning lamp may be illuminated and side airbag function could be affected until the issue is diagnosed and repaired.

🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium

⏱️ Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
