Test A: The Safety Belt Warning Chime Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

PINPOINT TEST A: THE SAFETY BELT WARNING CHIME IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY


A1-A6:






Normal Operation
The seat belt tone request is transmitted over the controller area network (CAN) to the cluster from the restraint control module (RCM). The safety belt switches are hard-wired to the RCM. When the RCM detects a safety belt switch that is not buckled, the instrument cluster sends a tone request to the generic electronic module (GEM) which sounds the chime.

Possible Causes
- GEM
- RCM
- Instrument cluster
