Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: The seat belt buckle switch is not serviced separately. The seat belt buckle with the seat belt buckle switch must be serviced as a complete unit. When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
  • SDM
  • Seat belt buckle switch wiring harness connector
  • Seat belt buckle switch
  • SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the seat belt switch.
  2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm between low reference terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than specified, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
  3. Ignition ON. Test for 1.0-1.6 volts between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If less that the specified range, test the signal circuit for open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
    • If greater that the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  4. If the circuits test normal, replace the seat belt buckle.
