C0951 is not documented by any known maker. For the front right sensor GM and Saab rely on C0755 instead, on the 2011 9-4X with the subcodes 03, 29 and 39. Mitsubishi's 2022 data spell out the no-data case in detail as C1742-21: the BCM watches for the right front signal once the car has covered 10 minutes in total at 40 km/h or more, and it stores the code if nothing arrives. Its listed causes reach beyond the sensor: driving through radio interference, an incomplete ID registration, wiring or the BCM itself. A front right sensor code therefore calls for checking the learned ID and the surroundings before buying a sensor. The driver loses the front right reading and sees the TPMS warning.

Likely causes

ID registration of the front right sensor incomplete
Sensor cell exhausted
Radio interference along the route or from devices in the car
Receiving control module defective

Symptoms

  • Dashes instead of a value for the right front tire
  • TPMS lamp lit after about ten minutes of driving
