SEAT BELT TENSIONER (SBT)
The driver and passenger seat belt (buckle) tensioners are mounted to the inboard side of the front seats. The seat belt buckle and seat belt switch are
connected directly to the seat belt tensioner cable. At the onset of an impact event the ORC uses the seat belt tensioner to rapidly retract the seat belt
buckles. With the slack removed, the occupant's forward motion in an impact will be reduced as will the likelihood of contacting interior components.
The seat belt tensioner cannot be repaired, if damaged or defective it must be replaced. The ORC continuously monitors the resistance of the seat belt
tensioner circuits for open and shorted conditions.
