Test L: The Safety Belt Warning Indicator Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST L: THE SAFETY BELT WARNING INDICATOR IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY


L1-L4:






Normal Operation
The safety belt switch is hardwired to the restraints control module (RCM). The instrument cluster receives the safety belt switch status from the RCM through the communication network. The RCM signals the instrument cluster, when the safety belt is unfastened, to illuminate the safety belt warning indicator. A safety belt minder chime that is operating correctly indicates the RCM is monitoring and transmitting the correct operation of the safety belt status to the instrument cluster.

Possible Causes
- RCM
- Instrument cluster
