    • The seat belt buckle sensor wiring harness connector
    • The seat belt buckle sensor
    • The SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the seat belt sensor connector.
  2. Test for less than 1.0 Ξ© of resistance between low reference terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than specified, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
  3. Ignition ON. Test for 1.0 - 1.6 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less that the specified range, test the signal circuit for open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
    • If greater that the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
