Fasten Safety Belt Indicator

The fasten seat belt indicator is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM monitors the driver seat belt switch. If the driver seat belt is not buckled, the BCM applies voltage to the instrument cluster through circuit 237 at terminal A13 in order to illuminate the indicator. The indicator remains illuminated for approximately 70 seconds. The indicator turns off immediately if the seatbelt is buckled.

If the driver seat belt is buckled when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or START position, the fasten seat belt indicator does not illuminate.
