If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the safety belt warning indicator miniature bulb.
- Check wire between instrument cluster and timer module. Turn key OFF. Locate and disconnect the instrument cluster connector C266 and the timer module connector. Measure the resistance of the Orange wire between the instrument cluster connector C266 and the timer module connector. Measure the resistance of the Orange wire between the instrument cluster connector C266 and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the instrument cluster and the timer module, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the timer module and ground? If yes, replace the instrument cluster printed circuit. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PRINTED CIRCUIT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If no, repair Orange wire.
