B1495 on Hyundai
Belt tension sensor defect in the passenger occupant detection system (Hyundai and Kia)
Severity: Inspect soon
The airbag light is on with this code, and Honda and Toyota owner manuals say a lit airbag light means the system should be checked promptly because the airbags may not work as designed. This sensor helps decide whether the passenger airbag is allowed to fire.
This page covers only what differs on Hyundai. For what B1495 means, the ranked causes and the test order, see the B1495 guide.
