B0092 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Left Side Restraints Sensor 2 (Subfault).” This SRS code indicates the airbag control module detected a fault with the left-side restraints (side-impact) sensor 2 circuit. These side crash sensors tell the module when to deploy side and curtain airbags, and the code sets when the sensor or its wiring reports an open, short, or implausible signal. With this fault present, the side airbag protection on that side may not function properly, and the airbag warning light will usually be on. This code is most commonly reported on 2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, with repair costs ranging from $400 to $1,800.
