B1495 — Decklid Punch-Out Sensor Circuit Failure

About B1495

B1495 is a manufacturer-specific body diagnostic trouble code recorded for Ford vehicles. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.

When B1495 is stored, the module has detected a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: Body (B) codes are often stored in the body control module, airbag module, or climate module. A basic OBD-II tool usually will not read body codes — an enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is typically required.

B1495 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the decklid punch out sensor as part of the vehicle's perimeter security system. This sensor is mounted on or near the trunk lock cylinder assembly and is designed to detect tampering, specifically a forced entry attempt where the lock cylinder is physically pushed out of the decklid. DTC B1495 sets when the BCM detects the punch out sensor signal is open, shorted, or otherwise out of normal operating range. When this code is active, the perimeter security system may behave erratically, the alarm may trigger spuriously, the trunk release function may be d...
