About B2295

B2295 is a generic (obd-ii standard) 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.

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.

Because B2295 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors each side airbag deployment circuit by measuring resistance and continuity to confirm deployment readiness during the SRS self test. DTC B2295 is set when the RCM detects an electrical fault in a side airbag circuit, such as an open circuit, a short to ground, a short to battery voltage, or a squib resistance value that is outside the calibrated plausible range. Each side airbag squib is a small pyrotechnic igniter with a precisely controlled cold resistance, and any departure from specification means the airbag may not deploy correctly in a side im...
