Signal too low. Permanent fault
Checking the power supply
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the seat belt buckle connector
- Check the seat belt buckle connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Ignition on.
Check that there is supply voltage at connector terminal #1.
Remedy as necessary.
Other information
- To access and replace the seat belt buckle, see Seat belt buckle Seat Belt Buckle.
Is there supply voltage?
Yes - Checking the connector and cable
No - Checking the connector and cable
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the connector and cable
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the battery negative lead
- Disconnect the control module connector
- Disconnect the seat belt buckle connector
- Connect the battery negative lead.
Warning! There must not be anyone inside the passenger compartment when the battery is connected.
Measure the resistance between seat belt buckle connector terminal #2 and control module connector terminal #70 (#45). Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
The resistance must be 0 ohms. If not there is an open-circuit.
Measure the resistance between seat belt buckle connector terminal #2 and the battery positive terminal. Measure the resistance between control module connector terminal #70 (#45) and the battery positive terminal. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
The resistance must be infinite.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the battery negative lead
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Connect the battery negative lead.
Warning! There must not be anyone inside the passenger compartment when the battery is connected.
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
The fault is no longer present if the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has changed to intermittent.
Does the status change?
Yes - VERIFIED
No - VERIFICATION FAILED

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit fault-tracing
No - Attempt New Test
