U0475 Invalid Data Received From Restraints System Sensor E

Check engine lightUsually off
EmissionsNot relevant
Drive cycleNot required
Limp modeNo

U0475 reports corrupt or implausible data from restraints sensor E; U0174 would be the lost-contact code. No manufacturer publicly ties letter E to a mounting point. Chrysler's restraint fault lists in NHTSA file PE11-019 even skip it, jumping from the second left-side sensor D to the first right-side sensor F. A system that uses E needs at least five peripheral crash sensors, and Bosch's compact AB light controller offers no more than six such inputs. The sensors talk over PSI5, a two-wire interface that grew out of airbag satellite links. Airbag lamp on, no MIL.

Likely causes

Damaged two-wire sensor line or connector
Internal fault in the satellite sensor itself
Restraints controller coding does not match the installed sensors

Symptoms

  • Airbag warning lamp on
  • Code stored in the restraints controller only

Repair estimate

DifficultyHardWorkshop job
Parts and labour€50–600
Time0.5–3 h

Typical range across vehicles; the real cost depends on what the testing finds.
