SEAT BELT WARNING ALARM


id092200019600


Purpose

•  The seat belt warning alarm warns the driver that a seat belt is not fastened.

Functions

•  The instrument cluster controls the seat belt warning alarm based on the following signals.

Signal name

Sending module/part name

Communication method

Vehicle speed signal
PCM
HS-CAN
Driver's side/passenger's side buckle switch signal
SAS control module
Occupancy sensor signal
Rear seat buckle switch signal (with rear seat belt warning alarm)
Rear body control module (RBCM)
MS-CAN


Driver's side/passenger's side seat belt warning alarm activation function

•  The driver's side/passenger's side seat belt warning alarm has an initial warning and subsequent warning.
Initial warning
•  When all of the following conditions are met, the alarm sounds.
―  Vehicle speed is approx. 20 km/h {12 mph} or more
―  Driver's side/passenger's side buckle switch on signal (seat belt unfastened) is detected
―  Occupancy sensor on signal (occupant in passenger seat) is detected (passenger's seat belt warning alarm only)
•  The initial warning sounds in the pattern shown in the figure.

Subsequent warning
•  When all of the following conditions are met, the alarm sounds.
―  Vehicle speed is approx. 20 km/h {12 mph} or more
―  Occupancy sensor on signal (occupant in passenger seat) is detected (passenger seat belt warning alarm only)
―  After initial warning operates, buckle switch off signal (seat belt fastened) to on signal (seat belt unfastened) is detected
•  The subsequent warning sounds in the pattern shown in the figure.

Rear seat belt warning alarm activation function (with rear seat belt warning alarm)

•  When all of the following conditions are met, the alarm sounds.
―  Ignition switch ON (engine off or on)
―  Rear seat buckle switch off signal (seat belt fastened) to on signal (seat belt unfastened) is detected
•  The rear seat belt warning alarm sound pattern is as shown in the figure.

Structure/Construction

•  The seat belt warning alarm sounds using the buzzer built into the instrument cluster.

Operation

1.  When the instrument cluster receives (1) a vehicle speed signal from the PCM and a driver's side/passenger's side buckle switch signal, occupancy sensor signal from the SAS control module, and rear seat buckle switch signal from the rear body control module (RBCM) (with rear seat belt warning alarm) via CAN communication while the ignition is switched ON (engine off or on), it turns on (2) the transistor.
2.  When the transistor turns on, a ground circuit with the seat belt warning alarm is established and the seat belt warning alarm is activated (3).
