ama0787 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is straight from the manual and if it does not take the first time try again. I followed the other directions and it only would take chime away maybe 1 out of 10 times or it would only do it till car was off again. Anyway the proper procedure is 1.Turn key to on position 2. Latch/unlatch seat belt exactly 20 times with in 30 seconds. To reverse follow the same procedure. I hope this ends the confusion that seems to have always existed on the subject.

robertsm99 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 REALLY?!?!?! This lame ass thread and comment again? NOT A PERMANENT FIX as posted in every other thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Where did you see in this thread that it said permanent fix? Why would you waste the time posting your comment? You are a true deuche bag. Figures you are from dallas It is permanent unless your battery dies or you reset the ecu. The other threads over complicate it tell you to do it twice etc....

whitelightning Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I did mine like 25 times and it worked fine. Twenty didn't. I just kept smashing it in until I knew I was definitely past twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ama0787 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 key is to do it slow and take most of the 30 seconds for the 20 clicks and do full range of motion belt in slot and out completely. hope that helps it has helped me i use to try and try this rarely getting it to work. Now I can do it whenever needed which is regularly since I have been taking seats in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ama0787 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 No where do I say permanent. I just thought explaining the steps particularly the going slow would help others as it did me i got it once after many tries then while working on my car with battery disconnected i lost it and never got it right again until reading the service manuals description. Which was 2 years later would have been very annoying if I did not wear my seat belt and was very annoying to have to buckle the passenger belt when there is weight il on it. So I thought I would pass it along. There is lots of bad info some posts say you do it twice etc.... Also it is a low battery voltage and then starting that can make it go away the cold just is the usual cause of low voltage starts. The service manual informs you of this condition. Edit.. This thread should be locked all useful information can be edited in first post which is key to on position and 20 full in and out clicks done slowly over the course of about 27 seconds.

boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 never had an issue with mine. Did my drivers seat when I first got the car over 2 years ago. Have had battery disconnected. And no issues to this day. Just now did passenger seat no issues first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I did it for my driver seat and it caused both to function that way what year/model do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipper55 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 After 20 times do you start the car or take key out again? Sorry silly question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silinc3r Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You are supposed to remove the key. If this is for the driver seat you can watch the seat belt symbol. When you are successful at disabling it, it wont show. Same for the passenger. When you have disabled it the seat belt symbol will not show for the passenger. They should both be disabled from the driver. Silinc3r's 05 SWP GT/Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I tried a million times, after having done it successfully first try months ago (had battery out for injector and fmic install) and thought I had forgotten the process!! The key, no pun intended, is certainly to go slow.. it's not a race to 20 clicks... also, for the last successful attempt I just started the car, as opposed to the 100 tries turning the key to the off position after the 20 clicks. Ymmv, but that's how I got er to listen THIS time. Sorry to bring a thread back from the grave, but I'm sure is often searched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
