Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer's concern by operating the active restraint system to duplicate the condition.
  2. Inspect to determine if any of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:
    VISUAL INSPECTION CHART

    Mechanical Electrical
    • Safety belt webbing integrity
    • Safety belt buckle and tongue assembly
    • Safety belt retractor
    • Bare, broken or disconnected wire
    • Connector not tightly engaged
    • Safety belt warning indicator lamp burned out or broken
  3. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern(s) that can be readily identified, service as required. With the exception of removing a twist from the safety belt webbing, do not attempt to repair a component of the safety belt system; new components must be installed.
  4. If the concern remains after the inspection, determine the symptom. Go to Symptom Chart .
  5. To check the active restraint system for correct operation, carry out the appropriate Functional Test(s).
