Rear seatbelt - Incorrect buckle status within the DIP - New Continental GT/C and New Flying Spur
Transaction No.: 2071006/1
Customer statement / workshop findings
Customer statement
Incorrect rear seatbelt buckle status shown within the DIP
Workshop findings
Although there is no occupant evident within the rear seats (2nd row) the rear seat is shown as occupied (Figure 1)
NOTICE
The issue can occur on one or a combination of the rear seats
Figure 1
The correct status for non occupied rear seats (2nd row) is as shown in Figure 2
Figure 2
Technical background
There is no specific DTC evident for the scenario described. The issue described is evident as the rear seat belt buckles are not resistor coded
The system uses a non-resistor coded buckle strategy (zero-infinity or open-closed buckle) for the rear seats. In correct operation, a fastened
seatbelt is open circuit and an un-fastened seatbelt is closed circuit
If harness damage is present or an electrical connector joint is not properly engaged, an unintended open circuit occurs. This will give an
incorrect buckle status reading within the DIP
The advice within this TPI should be referred to first before conducting any further diagnosis or disassembly of the vehicles interior
Previous assembly/disassembly may have caused an unintentional open circuit when operatives have been working on or around the rear seat
belt assemblies
CAUTION
Before conducting with any work on or around the rear seat belts the operative must refer to the following within Rep.Gr 69
•
Precautions - Passive restraint systems and components
•
Air bag system - Introduction
In the event the issue is not resolved
Or
There are seat belt warning operational issues
Or
There are seatbelt related DTC’s evident which cannot be resolved
The operative must raise a technical DISS query and await feedback before conducting any further work
NOTE TO PRODUCT SUPPORT: Product Support must second level the DISS query to the applicable Senior Engineer and
await feedback before responding to the retailer
Production change
The process within manufacturing has been reviewed
The manufacturing process includes status checks which has to show a “not belted” status through the airbag control unit to pass the test
