Inspection and Verification

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle

NOTE:
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines including pinpoint tests
1 Verify the customer concern by operating the safety belt
2 Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage





3 If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step
4 If the cause is not visually evident, carry out the test methods described below, alternatively check for diagnostic trouble codes and refer to the relevant diagnostic trouble code index
For a complete list of all diagnostic trouble codes that could be logged on this vehicle, please refer to Vehicle / A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ). For additional information, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index - DTC: Restraints Control Module (RCM)
