Test J: The Safety Belt Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On

PINPOINT TEST J: THE SAFETY BELT WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON

Normal Operation
The safety belt warning indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster (IC) based upon the safety belt status received from the restraints control module (RCM). When the driver safety belt is unbuckled, the safety belt switch closes, providing a ground signal to the RCM through circuit 85 (BN/LB). When the passenger safety belt is unbuckled, the safety belt switch closes, providing a ground signal to the RCM through circuit 1514 (RD/BK). When either the driver or passenger safety belts are buckled, the safety belt switch opens, removing the ground path to the RCM. The RCM monitors the safety belt status and provides a ground to the instrument cluster (IC) through circuit 1083 (LB/BK) when the safety belt switch is closed (unbuckled).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- RCM
- Instrument cluster (IC)
