Seat Belt Chime Test

The seat belt chime will sound for 4 to 8 seconds, when the ignition is turned ON and the driver's seat belt is not buckled (seat belt switch is closed to ground). This is a reminder to the driver to buckle the seat belt. The seat belt lamp is controlled by the ORC. The cluster will also bulb check the seat belt warning lamp for 6 seconds. Buckling the driver's seat belt before the time out has expired will cause the chime to stop immediately. Chime rate: 38 to 62 chimes per minute but the lamp will remain ON until 6 seconds have expired.

To test the seat belt warning system, the ignition switch must be in the OFF position for 1 minute before starting the test. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the driver's seat belt not buckled. The seat belt warning lamp should light and the chime should sound 4 to 8 seconds.
