SERVICE INFORMATION
If the seat belt warning lamp of an applied vehicle comes on intermittently, this may be due to a loose yellow-color harness connector for the front seat
belt pretensioner assembly.
If this incident should occur, follow the Service Procedure in this bulletin to install a new harness connector cap (see Figure 1) on both the front
DRIVER and PASSENGER seat belt pretensioner assemblies.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
Do not replace the entire front seat belt pretensioner assemblies unless this procedure is attempted first and fails to correct this incident.
NOTE:
^
On 2000 model year vehicles, the control unit does not store the seat belt pretensioner diagnostic trouble codes.
^
CONSULT will only show the code when found in the current mode. The code that is shown, when found in the SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]
mode, is PRE-TEN FRONT [OPEN/VB SHORT].
^
Sometimes, the seat belt warning lamp can be cleared unintentionally by touching or tapping the body harness connector and harness at the seat
belt pretensioner assembly. This makes the incident difficult to diagnose.
