Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Seat Belt Indicator
The fasten seat belt indicator is used with the warning chime to tell the operator to fasten the seat belt. The seat belt switch is normally OPEN
when the seat belt is buckled.
If the seat belt is not buckled, the switch CLOSES, and a ground path is completed on the G10 circuit to the Z1 circuit. The G10 circuit is
connected to the Body Control Module (BCM). When the ground path is complete a signal is sent over the CCD Bus to the instrument cluster.
This illuminates the lamp in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition switch is moved to the START position, the lamp is illuminated as a bulb check. Logic internal to the BCM determines the
length of time the lamp remains illuminated.
Seat Belt Warning
The seat belt chime is used to indicate to the operator that the seat belt is not fastened when the ignition switch is in the RUN position. The seat
belt switch, located in the left B-Pillar, is normally OPEN with the seat belt buckled. Circuit G10 is connected between the Body Control Module
(BCM) and the switch. Ground for the switch is provided on circuit Z1. The Z1 circuit terminates at the deck lid ground.
