Seat Belt Indicator Not Operating Properly
NOTE:
After making any repairs, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST
under VERIFICATION TESTS.
- Turn ignition on. While observing seat belt indicator, buckle and unbuckle driver's seat belt. If seat belt indicator remains off, go to step 4 . If seat belt indicator remains on, go to next step.
- Perform self-test on instrument cluster. Press and hold TRIP/RESET button and turn ignition on. If seat belt indicator does not turn on for 4 seconds then turn off, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If seat belt indicator turns on for 4 seconds then turns off, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect seat belt switch connector. Measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 24 (Light Green/Red wire) at instrument cluster harness connector. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Light Green/Red wire. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace seat belt switch.
- Perform self-test on instrument cluster. Press and hold TRIP/RESET button and turn ignition on. If seat belt indicator does not turn on for 4 seconds then turn off, go to step 8 . If seat belt indicator turns on for 4 seconds then turns off, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect seat belt switch connector. Measure resistance of Light Green wire between seat belt switch harness connector and terminal No. 24 at instrument cluster harness connector. See Figure .
- Measure resistance between ground and Black wire at seat belt switch harness connector. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open or high resistance in Black wire. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step.
- Buckle driver's seat belt. Measure resistance between seat belt switch terminals. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace seat belt switch. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace instrument cluster.
- Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Remove and inspect seat belt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED). Replace LED as necessary. If seat belt indicator LED is okay, replace instrument cluster.
