Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Testing and Inspection

The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative seat belt reminder lamp condition.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-BAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.

If the reminder lamp still fails to operate, see Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Panel/Instrument Cluster for diagnosis of the seat belt reminder lamp and the instrument cluster circuitry. Refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Audible Warning Device/Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems for diagnosis of the driver seat belt switch and circuit.
