Test F: The Safety Belt Minder Feature Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST F: THE SAFETY BELT MINDER FEATURE DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY


F1-F4:






Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the operation of the safety belt buckles. When the safety belts are buckled and unbuckled, the RCM sends the instrument cluster a status message over the CAN. The safety belt minder reminds the driver that the driver or passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster once the vehicle speed has exceeded 5 km/h (3 mph).

Possible Causes
- RCM
- Instrument cluster
