JR
SEAT BELT TENSIONER (Continued)

OPERATION

JR41
At the onset of an impact event, each tensioner
uses a pyrotechnic device which is triggered simulta-
neously with the front airbags to rapidly retract the
seat belts. With the slack removed, the occupant's
forward motion in an impact will be reduced as will
the likelihood of contacting interior components.
After an impact that deploys the airbags, the front
seat belt & retractor/tensioner assembly must be
replaced.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors
the seat belt tensioner circuit resistance and reports
active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) if
any problem is found.
WARNING: WHEN
DEPLOYED, THE
DEPLOYED AND MUST BE REPLACED. THIS WILL
