FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH

   CAUTION:

   
   

   • The front seat outer belt assembly LH contains an internal pretensioner, so when performing component inspection, make sure not to accidentally connect the battery to the pretensioner connector terminal.

   • If the battery is connected to the pretensioner connector terminal, the pretensioner will activate, which could result in serious injury.

   
   
   

   1. Check the seat belt tension reducer operation.

      
      
      1. 

         *a	Component without harness connected (Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly LH)

         Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 of the seat belt tension reducer connector and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2.

      2. Check that an operating sound is heard when the magnetized solenoid is attracting the plunger.

      3. Pull out the seat belt and allow it to retract. Listen to the operating sound.

      4. Pull out the seat belt again, disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery and allow the seat belt to retract. Listen to the operating sound again and check that the operating sound volume has increased.

         If the result is not as specified, replace the front seat outer belt assembly LH.

   2. 

      *a	Retractor
      *b	Unlock
      *c	Lock
      *d	45°

      Before installing the front seat outer belt assembly LH, check the ELR function.

      Note

      Do not disassemble the retractor.

      
      

      1. When the inclination of the retractor is 15° or less, check that the belt can be pulled from the retractor. When the inclination of the retractor is over 45°, check that the belt locks.

         If the result is not as specified, replace the front seat outer belt assembly LH.

2. INSPECT FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH

   CAUTION:

   
   

   • The front seat outer belt assembly RH contains an internal pretensioner, so when performing component inspection, make sure not to accidentally connect the battery to the pretensioner connector terminal.

   • If the battery is connected to the pretensioner connector terminal, the pretensioner will activate, which could result in serious injury.

   
   
   

   1. Check the seat belt tension reducer operation.

      
      
      1. 

         *a	Component without harness connected (Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly RH)

         Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 of the seat belt tension reducer connector and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2.

      2. Check that an operating sound is heard when the magnetized solenoid is attracting the plunger.

      3. Pull out the seat belt and allow it to retract. Listen to the operating sound.

      4. Pull out the seat belt again, disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery and allow the seat belt to retract. Listen to the operating sound again and check that the operating sound volume has increased.

         If the result is not as specified, replace the front seat outer belt assembly RH.

   2. 

      *a	Retractor
      *b	Unlock
      *c	Lock
      *d	45°

      Before installing the front seat outer belt assembly RH, check the ELR function.

      Note

      Do not disassemble the retractor.

      
      

      1. When the inclination of the retractor is 15° or less, check that the belt can be pulled from the retractor. When the inclination of the retractor is over 45°, check that the belt locks.

         If the result is not as specified, replace the front seat outer belt assembly RH.
