Seat Belt Warning System: Inspection

CAUTION:

Before diagnosing the airbag system, always turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and then wait for 60 seconds or more.
When replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module, or sensors, reconnect the replacement part and check that the warning light operates normally.
When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors of the driver's and passenger's seats for safety.
When inspecting the airbag rear harness, disconnect the side airbag module connector, curtain airbag module connector and seat belt pretensioner connector for safety reasons.

Step	Check	Yes	No

Connector & terminal Manual seat (i84) No. 30 - (R108) No. 1: Power seat (i84) No. 30 - (R381) No. 1:	Is the harness normal?	Go to step 8.	Repair or replace the harness.
8 CHECK HARNESS. Measure the resistance between the seat belt buckle switch LH and chassis ground. Connector & terminal Manual seat (R108) No. 2 - Chassis ground: Power seat (R381) No. 2 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?	Go to step 9.	Repair or replace the harness.
9 CHECK SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH LH. Measure the resistance between the connector terminals of the driver's seat belt switch when the driver's seat belt is fastened and detached. Connector & terminal Manual seat (R108) No. 1 - (R108) No. 2: Power seat (R381) No. 1 - (R381) No. 2:	Is the resistance when the belt is fastened 1 MΩ or more, and less than 10 Ω when the belt is detached?	Replace the body integrated unit. Refer to BODY INTEGRATED UNIT .	Replace the inner belt assembly LH. Refer to , OUTER BELT ASSY .
10 CHECK DTC. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor.	Is any CAN-related body system DTC detected?	Check the CAN system according to the DTC.	Go to step 11.
11 CHECK COMBINATION METER. Perform the self-diagnosis of combination meter. Refer to OPERATION .	At the start of combination meter self diagnosis, did the buzzer sound and the seat belt warning light illuminate?	Replace the body integrated unit or the combination meter. Or replace both. It may be due to the transmission failure of the body integrated unit or the reception failure of the combination meter.	Replace the combination meter. Refer to COMBINATION METER .
12 CHECK CURRENT DATA. Sit in the passenger's seat. Select "Current Data Display" and display the data of "P seat belt SW input". Fasten and detach the passenger's side seat belt buckle, and read the data of the seat belt switch. Refer to READ CURRENT DATA OPERATION .	Does the seat belt switch display turn ON ↔ OFF according to the operation of the seat belt buckle?	Go to step 16.	Go to step 13.
13 CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM AND OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM. Perform the check in accordance with the diagnostic procedure DTC 27 of the airbag system. Refer to L: DTC 27 ODS COMMUNICATION ERROR .	Is there any problem on the inspection result?	Go to step 14.	Repair or replace with new parts according to DTC 27.
