Circuit/System Description
|
All three rear seat belt switches are 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 SDM sends the status of the rear seat belt via serial data to the driver information center. After receiving the message, the driver information center controls the illumination of the driver seat belt indicator.

1.
|
The mechanical stop in the buckle may prevent latching but the switch in the buckle may momentarily open and the SDM would interpret this as an occupant in the rear seat position and that the buckle was attempting to latch.
|
2.
|
If a rear occupant attempts to latch the seat belt into the wrong buckle, the indicatormay illuminate and the system assumes there is an occupant not buckled in that seat position.
|
3.
|
An unseated connector can appear as a buckled seat belt connection.
|
Circuit/System Verification
|
1.
|
Verify that all connectors are fully seated.
|
2.
|
With the scan tool monitor the 2nd Row Seat Belt Status parameter while buckling and unbuckling the seat belt. The parameter should display Buckled and Unbuckled when buckling and unbuckling the seat belt.
|
3.
|
Replace the P9 driver information center.
|
Note
|
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
