For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

1.CHECK THE PASSENGER BELT TENSION SENSOR OUTPUT WITH NO LOAD APPLIED TO THE SENSOR

NOTE: Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, turn the ignition on, then reconnect the battery.

Is the Passenger BTS Output between 39 and 69?

Yes

Replace the Front Passenger Seat Belt Retractor and Passenger Belt Tension Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

2.CHECK THE PASSENGER BELT TENSION SENSOR OUTPUT WITH A LOAD APPLIED TO THE SENSOR

Connect the hook at the bottom of the spring scale through the Passenger Belt Tension Sensor (4) webbing loop (3) so that the end of the hook faces the passenger seat.
Place the maximum reading indicator (2) at the bottom of the spring scale.

Yes

Maintain the 11 kg (24 lbs) to 12 kg (26 lbs) of pressure on the Passenger Belt Tension Sensor and Go To 3

Replace the Front Passenger Seat Belt Retractor and Passenger Belt Tension Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

3.CHECK THE PASSENGER BELT TENSION SENSOR OUTPUT WITH THE LOAD RELEASED

Does the Passenger BTS Output return to between 39 and 69 within 20 seconds of releasing the load?

Yes

Replace the Front Passenger Seat Belt Retractor and Passenger Belt Tension Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform *OCS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
