Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The seat belt reminder lamp gives a visual reminder to the vehicle occupants to fasten their seat belts. The lamp is turned on by a timer circuit
within the chime/buzzer module for about seven seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the On position.
The chime/buzzer module also receives a hard- wired input from the driver found side seat belt switch. If the driver side seat belt switch is closed (
seat belt is not buckled), the chime/buzzer module will generate an audible warning for the duration of the seat belt reminder lamp illumination.
The audible warning will stop when the driver side seat belt switch is open (seat belt is buckled).
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The seat belt indicator warning lamp is activated by the buzzer module on circuit G13. Circuit G13 supplies power to instrument cluster for the
lamp. Circuit Z3 provides ground for the lamp.
