Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation

The fasten safety belt indicator will be ON during bulb check or in RUN for approximately 70 seconds until the driver's safety belt is latched. The IPC illuminates the fasten safety belt indicator when the driver seat belt is unlatched for 70 seconds. When the driver seat belt is latched the BCM sends a high output to the instrument cluster, which turns the indicator off. If the driver seat belt is unlatched while the vehicle is in RUN the fasten safety belt indicator turns back on for 70 seconds or until the driver seat belt is latched again. There is an audible warning that chimes through the BCM when this indicator is on.
