Pinpoint Test Aw: DTC B2436 - Passengers Seat Belt Buckle Switch Circuit Open Fault

NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test.
  1. AW1 CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND DTCs 
    WARNING: Restraint system diagnostic tools are for service only. Tools must be removed prior to operating the vehicle over the road. Failure to remove restraint system diagnostic tools could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
    WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
    WARNING: The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
    NOTE: After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road. 
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Retrieve/Record Continuous DTCs.
    • Was DTC B2436 retrieved during the on-demand self test? 

    Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is still present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test. GO to  AW2.

    No  : This is an intermittent fault. The fault condition is not present at this time. GO to  AW5.

  2. AW2 CHECK CIRCUIT 7-JA55(A) (YE/BK) AND CIRCUIT 9-JA55(A) (BNYE)/9-JA1(A) (BN/RD) FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE RCM AND THE PASSENGER SAFETY BELT BUCKLE SWITCH 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Depower the system. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this article.
    • Disconnect: RCM C2041a and C2041b.
    • Disconnect: Passenger Seat C312.
    • Measure the resistance between RCM C2041a-30, circuit 7-JA55(A) (YE/BK), harness side and passenger seat C312b-3, circuit 7-JA55(A) (YE/BK), harness side; and between RCM C2041a-34, circuit 9-JA1(A) (BN/RD), harness side and passenger seat C312b-4, circuit 9-JA55(A) (BN/YE), harness side

    • Are the resistances less than 0.5 ohm? 

    Yes  : GO to  AW3.

    No  : REPAIR circuit 7-JA55(A) (YE/BK) or circuit 9-JA1(A) (BN/RD)/9-JA55(A) (BN/YE). GO to  AW6.

  3. AW3 CHECK THE PASSENGER SAFETY BELT BUCKLE SWITCH 
    • Connect: RCM C2041a and C2041b.
    • Install a known good passenger safety belt buckle assembly. Refer to SAFETY BELT SYSTEM .
    • Connect: Passenger Seat C312.
    • Repower the system. Do not  prove out the system at this time. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this article.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Was DTC B2436 retrieved during the on-demand self test? 

    Yes  : GO to  AW4.

    No  : Fault corrected. GO to  AW6.

  4. AW4 CONFIRM THE RCM FAULT 
    NOTE: Make sure all restraint system diagnostic tools, sensor electrical connectors, and the RCM electrical connectors are connected before carrying out the on-demand self test. If not, erroneous DTCs will be recorded.

    Yes  : INSTALL and CONFIGURE a new RCM. REFER to RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)  in this article. GO to  AW6.

    No  : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. GO to  AW6.

  5. AW5 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: On-Demand Self Test.
    • Was DTC B2436 retrieved during the on-demand self test? 

    Yes  : This is a hard fault. The fault condition is now present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test. GO to  AW2.

    No  : CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. GO to  AW6.

  6. AW6 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DTCs 
    • Refer to the continuous DTCs recorded during Step AW1.
    • Were any continuous DTCs retrieved during Step AW1 ? 

    Yes  : Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. GO to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)  in this article for pinpoint test direction.

    No  : RECONNECT the system. If previously directed to deactivate the system, REACTIVATE the system. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEACTIVATION AND REACTIVATION  in this article. REPOWER the system. REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING  in this article. PROVE OUT the system. CLEAR all DTCs.
