Seat Belt Buckle: Service and Repair
Safety Belt Buckle - Front
SAFETY BELT BUCKLE - FRONT
Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensor [BTS], if equipped, buckles, shoulder belt height adjusters [if
equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware) should be inspected after every collision. All new belt assemblies
should be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted. Failure to follow
these instructions could increase the risk of personal injury in collisions.
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
All safety belt buckles
1. Looking under the front seat from the second row, position the affected safety belt buckle nut in the indentation of the transmission tunnel. If
equipped with power seats, position the seat all the way up.
2. Position the other seat all the way forward.
