Seat Belt Tension Sensor: Description and Operation




Belt Tension Sensor (BTS)

The safety Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) is part of the passenger front safety belt buckle and can only be serviced with a new passenger safety belt buckle. The safety BTS sensor operates as part of the Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) system on the front passenger seat.


Child Safety Seat Restraints

The child safety seat restraints include the following serviceable items:

- Child safety seat tether anchors located at all rear seating positions, attached to the parcel shelf
- Lower anchors and tethers for children attachments located at the outboard seating positions, mounted to the floor pan behind the rear seat cushion

If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for damage. Inspect the vehicle structure at the child safety seat component mounting areas and repair any damage to the original production configuration.
