Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
Belt-Minder(R) Deactivating/Activating
Preparation
NOTE: The Belt-Minder(R) deactivating/activating can also be carried out using the scan tool.
1. Before deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder(R), set the parking brake.
2. Place the transmission in PARK (P).
3. Turn the key to the OFF position.
4. Close all the vehicle doors.
5. Unbuckle the driver safety belt.
6. Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
Deactivating/Activating
NOTE: The Belt-Minder(R) cannot be deactivated using a MyKey(TM) programmed key. The Belt-Minder(R) can only be deactivated using an
administrator key. If the Belt-Minder(R) is already disabled, driving the vehicle with a MyKey(TM) programmed key overrides the deactivation,
however, when the vehicle is subsequently operated using an administrator key, the Belt-Minder(R) once again reverts to the disabled state.
1. Turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine).
2. Wait until the safety belt warning indicator turns off (approximately 1 minute).
3. NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 30 seconds or the procedure must be repeated.
Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt 3 times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. The safety belt warning indicator then illuminates for 3
seconds.
4. Within 10 seconds of the safety belt warning indicator illuminating, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. This enables the Belt-Minder(R) if
disabled, or disables the Belt-Minder(R) if enabled.
5. The safety belt warning indicator flashing 4 times per second for 3 seconds provides confirmation that the Belt-Minder(R) is disabled.
6. The following sequence of events confirms the Belt-Minder(R) is enabled:
-
flashing of the safety belt warning indicator 4 times per second for 3 seconds
-
3 seconds with the safety belt warning indicator off
-
flashing of the safety belt warning indicator 4 times per second for 3 seconds again
7. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.
