INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TENSION REDUCER SOLENOID OPERA-
TION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1, and negative (±) lead to terminal 2.
(b) Pull the belt upward and check that the belt is slowly re-
tracted when released.
(c) Disconnect the lead from the battery.
(d) Pull the belt upward and check that the belt is retracted
more quickly when released than in (b).
HINT:
Do not tilt the retractor.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the front seat outer
belt assembly.
2. INSPECT TENSION REDUCER SOLENOID CIRCUIT
Disconnect the tension reducer solenoid connector and inspect
the connector on wire harness side, as shown.
