Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks the driver safety belt buckle switch circuits for faults. If the RCM detects a short to ground fault, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2434 in memory and illuminate the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
A driver safety belt buckle switch circuit fault can be caused by:
- damaged wiring, terminals or connectors.
- a faulty driver safety belt buckle switch.
- a faulted RCM.

NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test.
