SEAT BELT & SEAT BELT TENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
In the event of a collision (head-on or rear-end) the
seat belt tensioner eliminates the slack in the belt and
prevents the seat belt from unreeling. The tight seat
belt causes the vehicle passengers to decelerate at
the same rate as the body at an earlier point in time.
The Seat Belt Tensioner (SBT) for the driver and pas-
senger are located at the bottom of the B-pillar behind
the plastic trim panel.
OPERATION
The front seat belt system incorporates both driver and passenger Seat Belt Tensioner (SBT) retractors. At the onset
of an impact event each tensioner uses a pyrotechnic device, which is triggered simultaneously with the front air-
bags to rapidly retract the seat belts. With the slack removed, the occupant's forward motion in an impact will be
reduced as well the likelihood of contacting interior components. After an impact that deploys the airbag, the seat
belt tensioner assembly must be replaced. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module monitors the seat belt
tensioners circuit resistance and reports active and stored DTCs if any problem is found. Follow all of the safety
procedures when servicing tensioner.
