Test D: The Safety Belt Warning Chime Does Not Operate Correctly/The Belt-Minder(R) Feature Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST D: THE SAFETY BELT WARNING CHIME DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY/THE BELT-MINDER(R) FEATURE DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation
The instrument cluster receives the safety belt and Belt-Minder(R) requests from the restraints control module (RCM) over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). The safety belt warning chime sounds for approximately 6 seconds when the driver safety belt is not fastened and the ignition lock cylinder is turned from the OFF/LOCK or ACC to the ON or START position.

The Belt-Minder(R) feature supplements the safety belt warning function and is enabled after the safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder(R) simultaneously sounds the chime and illuminates the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph), and remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started.

NOTE: Make sure that the safety belt/Belt-Minder(R) chime operation is verified with the vehicle moving at least 5 km/h (3 mph).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Safety belt warning indication concern
- Speedometer concern
- Instrument cluster
