Service Procedure

INSPECTING THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER INNER FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES











1. Using a pen light, press the seat belt buckle release button and check the serial number stamped on the inside of the buckle opening to determine whether that serial number falls within the affected serial number range (Figures 1-3).

Important:
Inspect as follows: Rodeo (UC) Passenger side only, Amigo (TC) Passenger side only and Pickup (TF) both Driver and Passenger side.

2. If the serial number(s) does not fall within the affected serial number range, the inner front seat belt(s) is OK. No further action is required. Go to APPLYING THE CAMPAIGN LABEL.

3. If a serial number(s) falls within the affected serial number range, replace the appropriate inner front seat belt.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT CONTINUE TO PERFORM CAMPAIGN 96V-170 ON ANY 1994 ISUZU RODEOS EQUIPPED WITH A BENCH SEAT. With respect to 1994 Rodeos equipped with a bench seat, the information relayed by Takata to Isuzu in 1996 erroneously specified the driver side inner front seat belt buckle. The seat belt buckle this campaign (02V-281) applies to is the PASSENGER SIDE INNER FRONT seat belt buckle.

1. Unbolt the inner front seat belt anchor bolt.

IMPORTANT:
The new inner front seat belt contains all necessary hardware (anchor bolt, lock washer and toothed washer). Do not reuse any of the mounting hardware previously removed.

2. Install a new inner front seat belt (see Parts Information section) and secure it with the supplied mounting hardware. Torque the anchor bolt to 29 lb/ft (39 N.m).

3. Test for proper inner front seat belt operation by inserting the latch tongue into the seat belt buckle, pulling firmly on the webbing to make sure that the tongue latches and pressing the release button to make sure the tongue releases. Repeat this step five (5) times.
