B1495 on Mazda
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 Mazda. For what B1495 means, the ranked causes and the test order, see the B1495 guide.

DTC B1495:87 LIN communication error after trailer hitch install

Says some CX-9 vehicles store B1495:87 and cannot clear it after an accessory trailer hitch is fitted, which may come from the liftgate foot sensor deactivation procedure not being completed. A different meaning from Hyundai and Kia, kept here to show the number is not shared.
We couldn't confirm whether this bulletin is still current, so it doesn't count as confirmation.
