2. Check buckle switch sensor circuit (Short to GND/Battery).

[CHECK]
Measure the voltage and resistance of the seat belt switch high and body ground between the SRSCM connector and the seat belt switch connector.

Resistance : Infinity>

Voltage: 0 V

[NG]->
Repair or replace the harness between the SRSCM and the seat belt switch.

[OK]->




3. Check the seat belt switch

[CHECK]
