Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The seat belt buckle switch is located within the seat belt buckle assembly 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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0072 01, B0073 01
The SDM detects the seat switch signal circuit is shorted to voltage for 500 milliseconds.
B0072 02, B0073 02
The SDM detects the seat switch signal circuit is shorted to ground for 500 milliseconds.
B0072 04, B0073 04
The SDM detects the seat switch signal circuit or low reference circuit is open for 500 milliseconds.
