Test E: The Safety Belt Warning Chime Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST E: THE SAFETY BELT WARNING CHIME DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the operation of the safety belt buckles. When the safety belts are buckled and unbuckled, the RCM sends the instrument cluster (IC) a status message over the controller area network (CAN). The instrument cluster (IC) monitors these messages and operates the chime according to the data. The safety belt warning chime sounds when the driver or passenger safety belt is not fastened and the ignition key is turned from the OFF/LOCK or ACC to the ON or START position. The safety belt warning chime stops sounding when the safety belt is fastened, when the ignition key is turned from the ON or START position to the OFF/LOCK or ACC position, or when the chime has sounded for approximately 6 seconds.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- RCM
- Instrument cluster (IC)
