Perform the following inspection from the driver seat

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Verify proper operation of the seat belt reminder lamp with the belt buckled and with the belt unbuckled.
  2. Inspect the shoulder belt guide in order to ensure that the following conditions are met: The shoulder belt guide swivels freely in the rear seat position. The seat belt webbing is seated flatly in the guide slot. The seat belt webbing does not bind.
  3. Verify that the seat belt buckle faces inboard and is accessible.
  4. Verify that the seat belt retractor units are securely attached.
  5. Verify that the seat belt anchor bolts are secure.
  6. Fully extend the seat belt webbing. Verify that the seat belt webbing does not have any twists or tears.

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) sends the status of the driver and passenger seat belt switch to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via a serial data communication message. If the seat belt is unfastened, the SDM will send a message to the IPC to illuminate the fasten safety belt indicator for 72 seconds or until the seat belt is fastened.
