Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation
The driver seat belt switch is integral to the driver seat belt tip-half retractor assembly. The driver seat belt switch is normally closed, providing a ground
path to the to the buzzer module, or to the instrument cluster on models equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The switch monitors
the amount of seat belt webbing wound onto the seat belt retractor spool. When the seat belt tip-half webbing is pulled out of the retractor far enough to
engage the seat belt buckle-half, the switch opens the ground path.
The driver seat belt switch cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire driver seat belt tip half and retractor unit must be replaced.
