COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If the seat belt reminder function does not work normally, the seat belt switch input circuit, the combination meter or hazard indicator assembly may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES



DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check the seat belt switch.


Refer to GROUP 52A - Front Seat Belt .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Replace the seat belt switch.

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at the seat belt switch (driver’s side) connector, seat belt switch (passenger’s side) connector


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between the seat belt switch (driver’s side) connector, seat belt switch (passenger’s side) connector (earth terminals) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check of open circuit (disconnect) in body earth line between seat belt switch (driver’s side) connector or seat belt switch (passenger’s side) and the body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check of short to power supply circuit (connect) in SBDS or SBAS line between combination meter connector and seat belt switch (driver’s side) connector or seat belt switch (passenger’s side) connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check of short to power supply circuit (connect) in BWLP line between combination meter connector and hazard indicator assembly connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 6. Retest the system.


The seat belt reminder function should work normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES <The seat belt reminder function works normally.> : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

NO <Buzzers do not sound.> : Replace the combination meter.

NO <The indicator (driver’s side) does not illuminate.> : Replace the combination meter.

NO <The indicator (passenger’s side) does not illuminate.> : Replace the hazard indicator assembly, and then go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Retest the system.


The seat belt reminder function should work normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Replace the combination meter.
