Faulty Signal






Faulty signal

Checking the status




- Ignition on.
Activate reading off the rear center seat belt buckle.
Check if the fault is permanent or intermittent.
Lock and unlock the rear center seat belt buckle.

Hint: The signal level in the rear center seat belt buckle must be approximately 5 volts when unlocked and approximately 0 volts when locked. If the signal level is between 1.3 volts and 2.6 volts, the sensor is defective.

The fault is permanent if the signal level does not change between unlocked and locked status.
If the signal level changes, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i.e. the fault is intermittent.
