subarudan Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 The passenger side automatic seat belt mechanism is stuck forward on my '90 Legacy. I can manually move it most of the way backwards, but when I turn the ignition, it just returns to the forward position again. I try this with the door closed, verifying on the dash that the door is in fact closed, while sitting on the passenger seat. Also, there is an LED icon of a guy with a seatbelt on the dash blinking as if to tell me something is wrong with the seatbelt. Well, yeah. I'm hoping it's a fuse or a relay or something. Has anyone had this problem? If not, what else could I check? Help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Here's the factory manual scans on how to put the auto seatbelt computer into diagnostic mode and check what's wrong the hardest part is finding the stupid little connector to put it in diag mode http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/autoseatbeltdiag1.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/autoseatbeltdiag2.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/autoseatbeltdiag3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarudan Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks Josh, but the links you included don't load for me. I can't get to: http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/autoseatbeltdiag1.jpg or... http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080 or even... http://www.main.experiencetherave.com Do you have a copy of these stored away somewhere?

Legacy777 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 the links work.....are you at work.....it's possible they won't load due to corporate firewall. If you are not at work.....and still can't access them....let me know and I'll have to move them to another server. also....what browser are you using?

subarudan Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. I'm at work, and I don't know how they have the firewall set up. I'll try these when I get home. Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarudan Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hey Josh, that worked! I got trouble code 21: "Open and closed ends of passenger's door latch switch are ON." I'm guessing this means my door latch switch is not working like it's supposed to. I'm assuming this is not the door sensor switch that you can hold in with your thumb, but a switch inside the door next to the latch? Any insight as to fixing or replacing a door latch switch?

Legacy777 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Dan, Yeah the switch is part of the latch mechanism inside the door. With the door open, take a screw driver and move the latch until it clicks and such. See if you notice any issues. To undo, lift up on the handle and undo the latch. You might have to take apart the door to see inside there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arracado Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hey everyone-- I'm having the same problem in my 91. I ran the diag and got a code 14--"Rear limit switch on driver's side remains on." Is this a DIY job that anyone's done before? Any tips on where to start? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arracado Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Does this code refer to the p/b control unit under the rear speaker? It was clicking a lot when I was connecting the belt at the floor, but I would think that if this box was the problem, both belts wouldn't work. The passenger side works fine. Any tips are much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 If the code points to a limit switch, I would start there, maybe test the switch, make sure it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
