Causes
- Open or shorted wiring in passenger seat belt buckle circuit
- Corroded, loose, or damaged connector at buckle or module
- Failed/passenger seat belt buckle switch
- Water ingress or contamination in buckle assembly
- Faulty body control/airbag/occupant classification module or poor ground
- Intermittent wiring damage from seat movement or seat track
Symptoms
- Seat belt warning light illuminated or flashing
- Continuous seat belt reminder chime even when buckle is fastened
- Passenger airbag/occupant detection warnings or faults
- Incorrect passenger occupancy status on dash or SRS scan tool
- DTC stored in vehicle diagnostic memory (B2692)
What to check
- Read DTC with a diagnostic scanner; record freeze frame and related codes
- Visual inspection of passenger seat buckle, wiring harness under seat, and connectors for damage, corrosion or water
- Operate buckle while watching live data for buckle switch state change
- Wiggle harness and buckle while watching live data to find intermittent faults
- Measure continuity and resistance of buckle switch circuit with harness disconnected
- Inspect seat track area for chafed wires and replace/secure as required
Signal parameters
- Buckle switch is a simple open/closed switch; expected state changes when buckle is fastened/unfastened
- Typical signal: switched to ground or pulled to reference voltage by module (common systems use a 5 V pull-up or a direct ground switch). Verify with manufacturer data
- Expected continuity: closed (near 0 Ω) when buckle latched, open (OL) when unlatched — confirm with service manual
- No or very low current draw when idle; intermittent voltage changes indicate wiring/connector issue
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record DTC(s) and freeze-frame with a diagnostic scanner. Note any related airbag/occupant codes.
- Visually inspect passenger buckle, harness, and connectors for obvious damage, corrosion or water ingress. Check under trim and seat base.
- With ignition ON (engine off), monitor buckle switch input using an appropriate scan tool or multimeter. Observe state while buckling/unbuckling.
- Perform wiggle test: move the seat through full travel and wiggle harness/connectors while monitoring the signal for intermittent changes.
- If no signal change, disconnect buckle connector and measure continuity/resistance across the switch while actuating the buckle. Replace buckle if switch does not change state.
- If switch is good, back-probe wiring at the module connector and verify correct reference voltage and continuity to the buckle connector. Repair any opens, shorts or poor grounds.
- Repair or replace damaged wiring, connectors, or the buckle assembly. Use dielectric grease on moisture-prone connectors after repair.
- Clear codes and retest. Verify that the buckle switch state is reported correctly and no related SRS/occupant faults remain.
- If wiring and buckle check OK but fault persists, consult manufacturer wiring diagrams and consider module diagnosis or replacement per service procedures.
Likely causes
- Damaged or disconnected connector at the buckle (most common)
- Broken or chafed wire under the seat from track movement
- Failed buckle switch due to contamination or internal break
- Corrosion on module connector or poor ground
- Less likely: control module fault
Fault status
Status
Passenger seat belt buckle switch — failure in circuit. Module detects invalid or missing buckle switch signal (B2692).
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
