Control Unit
The control unit positions the shoulder belts according to inputs from the ignition switch, the door latch switches (located in the latch assemblies), and the front and rear position switches, located in the shoulder belt track assembly.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the control unit will monitor the door switches, and the front and rear position switches to determine where the shoulder belt is located. If the belt is not in the proper position, the control unit will move it to the correct position. In a properly functioning system, the belts should be in the positions shown in the BELT POSITIONS TABLE below.
| Ignition Key Position | Door Position Left | Door Position Right | Shoulder Belt Position Left | Shoulder Belt Position Right |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ON | Closed | Closed | Rear | Rear |
| ON | Open | Closed | Forward | Rear |
| ON | Open | Open | Forward | Forward |
| ON | Closed | Open | Rear | Forward |
When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the driver's side shoulder belt will travel forward and remain there, regardless of the driver's door position. The passenger's belt will remain in the rearward position if the passenger's door is not opened. If the passenger's door is opened, the shoulder belt will travel forward and remain there.
