Front Seat Belt Replacement

  1. Install the seat belt and the retractor in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Apply medium strength liquid thread lock to the anchor bolts before reinstallation.
    • Tighten the bolts by hand first, then tighten to the specified torque.
    • Check that the retractor locking mechanism functions.
    • Assemble the washer, the collars, and the bushing on the upper anchor bolt, the lower anchor bolt, and the retractor bolt as shown.
    • Before installing the anchor bolts, make sure there are no twists or kinks in the seat belt.
    • Make sure the seat belt tensioner connector and the seat belt motor connector (for some models) are plugged in properly.
    • Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure.
    • Check for any DTCs that may have been set during repairs, and clear them.
