Front Passenger Side Seat Belt Warning Light Malfunction: Description

The occupant classification ECU detects the state of the front seat inner belt assembly RH and occupant classification sensor when the front passenger side seat is occupied with the engine switch on (IG). If the front passenger side seat belt is not fastened, the front passenger side seat belt warning light on the accessory meter assembly*1 or radio receiver assembly*2 blinks. If the seat belt is fastened, the warning light goes off.

When the front passenger side seat belt is not fastened with the engine switch on (IG) and the front passenger side seat occupied, the front passenger side seat belt warning light on the radio receiver assembly blinks. The occupant detection sensor detects if the front passenger side seat is occupied and sends signals to the combination meter assembly. The front seat inner belt assembly detects the front passenger side seat belt condition and sends signals to the combination meter assembly. After receiving the signals from the occupant detection sensor and front seat inner belt assembly, the combination meter illuminates the front passenger side seat belt warning light on the radio receiver assembly.
