Symptom Test D: Belt Carrier (Transport) Jumps Or Clicks At Center Body Pillar (B-Pillar) While Ignition Is On

  1. Perform B-Pillar limit switch test. See B-PILLAR LIMIT SWITCH TEST  . If B-Pillar limit switch functions properly, go to next step. If B-Pillar limit switch does not function properly, replace front seat shoulder strap track.
  2. Turn key off. Locate and disconnect passive restraint control module connector #1 (driver's side inoperative) or #2 (passenger's side inoperative). Disconnect B-Pillar limit switch connector on inoperative side of vehicle. Measure resistances of Yellow/Red wire (driver's side inoperative) or White wire (passenger's side inoperative) between passive restraint control module connector and B-Pillar limit switch connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not less than 5 ohms, service/repair wire in question.
  3. Disconnect B-Pillar limit switch connector on inoperative side(s) of vehicle. Measure resistance of Black wire between B-Pillar limit switch connector and ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace passive restraint control module. If resistance is not less than 5 ohms, service/repair Black wire.
