How seat belt reminder works
Ever hear that annoying continuous sound or light telling you that you are not buckled in? How does it know? The vehicle uses sensors to do this important job. Seat belt sensors, also known as switches are used in various industries including the automotive and airline. A vehicle can include several types of sensors: weight sensor passenger seat, speed sensor, and connection sensors in buckles. The dash indicator light or an alarm goes off when a conditional action based on the sensors state occurs. For example, when a passenger or driver is in the seat, but is not buckled in, that meets the conditional state so the alarm or light goes off.
The switch that determines this condition is known as the Reed switch. It is one of the most reliable ways to detect if the seat belt has been engaged. It begins with the seat sensor to first establish if someone is sitting. When there is enough weight on the seat, it determines that someone is sitting. This is not a fool proof system . Sometimes a heavy backpack in the front seat can trick the car into thinking that someone is sitting there and needs to be buckled in. The vehicle proceeds onto the next step, to enable to airbags. If the seat belt buckle is not engaged, the vehicle will display a sign that states the airbags are off. Most people know this as the symbol with a person belted into their seat and an airbag near them. Once the seat belt is buckled, the Supplemental Restraint System can now properly work to protect the driver or passenger(s) in the vehicle.
However, a seatbelt or other parts of the SRS can only work as well as the state of their condition. If something is broken, ripped, jamming, or in need of some kind of repair or replacement it is important to tackle the problem right away. Some things you may be in need of is seat belt buckle repair, module reset, cluster repair or seat belt webbing replacement. Seat belt reminders are one of the tools used in order to insure the safety of the driver and passenger(s).Even the sensors or lights may stop working properly as well. This is a serious issue, as the SRS may not be able to protect you. You want to make sure your vehicle can sense everything going on inside the vehicle, and can make the proper adjustments to make sure you are fully protected in the event of an accident.
