Retractor Solenoid/Solenoid Sensor Switch Test
NOTE:
Perform this test on each shoulder seat belt retractor.
- Slide the front seat forward to disconnect the connector from the shoulder seat belt retractor. See Fig 1 .
- Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the BLU/YEL (driver's side) or RED/GRN (right front side) terminal and the negative probe to the BLK 1 terminal of the rear wire harness connector. There should be battery voltage when the door is opened. If there is no battery voltage, go to the next step.
- Check for an open in the BLU/YEL (driver's side) or RED/GRN (right front side) wire. Check for poor ground to Hatchback G501 and G502 or Sedan G551 and G552. For G501 and G502 connector views, see Figure . for G551 and G552 connector views, see Figure . Go to CONTROL UNIT INPUT TEST under SYSTEM TESTS. If there is no battery voltage, go to the next step.
- Perform the retractor solenoid test: With the door open, check for continual clicks of the solenoid plunger whenever the connector is alternately connected and disconnected. If it does not click, replace the shoulder seat belt assembly (solenoid is not available separately). See FRONT SEAT BELT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Connect the 6-pin or 4-pin connector to the shoulder seat belt retractor.
- Perform the solenoid sensor switch test: Check for voltage between the BLU/RED (+) and BLK 2 (-) terminals of the 6-pin connector (driver's side), or between the RED (+) and BLK 2 (-) terminals of the 4-pin connector (right front side) when the door under test is opened and closed. There should be approximately 5V or more when the door is opened and less than 1V when the door is closed. If there is abnormality, replace the shoulder seat belt assembly. See FRONT SEAT BELT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
