Fasten Safety Belt Warning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as determined by the seat belt switch. The BCM receives a discrete input from the seat belt switch. The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator displays when the following occurs:

The ignition switch transitions to ON.
The BCM detects that the drivers seat belt is not buckled (signal is low).

If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is sounding, the chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition to ON, the chime does not sound.
