Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

  1. 5:  Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the seat belt tension retractor sensor signal circuit.
  2. 6:  Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the seat belt tension retractor sensor 5-volt reference circuit.
  3. 7:  Tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the seat belt tension retractor sensor low reference circuit.
  4. 8:  Tests for a short to voltage in the seat belt tension retractor sensor signal circuit.
  5. 9:  Tests the seat belt tension retractor sensor signal circuit input voltage range.
  6. 10:  Tests for a short to voltage in the seat belt tension retractor sensor 5-volt reference circuit.
  7. 11:  Tests for a short to voltage in the seat belt tension retractor sensor low reference circuit.
