Seat belt buckle
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The two front seat belt buckles have Hall sensors and are connected to the SRS module. These connections are electrically separated from each other.
The hall sensor detects whether the belt is engaged in the seat belt buckle or not and indicates this to the supplemental restraint system module (SRS). The information is used to set the activation level for the airbags and seat belt tensioners. If a fault is detected in the seat belt buckles or in their terminals, an adjustment is made for this, depending on the type of fault.
