WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B153D driver seat belt buckle.
- Test for less than 1 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the seat belt indicator is OFF.
- If the seat belt indicator is ON, test the control circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 instrument cluster.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 2 and the ground circuit terminal 1. Verify the seat belt indicator is ON.
- If the seat belt indicator is OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 instrument cluster.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B153D driver seat belt buckle.
