Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The inflatable restraint seat belt buckle switch is within the seat belt buckle and provides an input to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module supplies a low reference circuit and a seat belt switch signal circuit to determine a buckled or unbuckled condition. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module monitors the seat belt switch circuits and if a fault is detected a DTC will be set.

Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Diagnostic Fault Information

1. Indicator will remain ON with seat belt buckled.
2. Indicator will illuminate only for the bulb check.
3. Indicator will not illuminate.
4. Indicator always ON.

Circuit/System Description

When an individual is sitting in the passenger seat the passenger presence sensor detects the individual.

A signal to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module indicates a person is in the passenger seat. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module will turn the passenger seat belt indicator on.

The passenger seat belt switch is a 2-wire switch wired to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) using a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. When the seat belt is unbuckled the switch is closed, and when the seat belt is buckled the switch is open. The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module sends the status of the passenger seat belt via a hard wire to the passenger air bag disable switch. After receiving the message, the passenger air bag disable switch controls the illumination of the passenger seat belt indicator.

Diagnostic Aids

Objects on the passenger seat can cause the passenger seat belt reminder to be commanded on.

Depending on the sensing technology used, a conductive object (computers, MP3 players, cell phones, diagnostic scan tool, wires, a hand, etc.) placed on the passenger seat may cause the passenger presence module to command the passenger air bag indicator ON and/or command the passenger seat belt indicator ON. The fasten seat belt chime will also sound.
