The inflatable restraint seat belt switch is within the seat belt retractor and provides an input to the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM supplies a low reference circuit and a seat belt switch signal circuit to determine a buckled or unbuckled condition. The SDM monitors the seat belt switch circuits, and if a fault is detected a DTC will be set.
