The Sebring convertible seats use a seat belt module and electric solenoid to lock the shoulder belt on deceleration. Not going to work without it-shoulder belt wont lock. Below is an operational description .
Since the retractor is mounted on a seat back that can recline, a typical seat belt g-sensor cannot be used in the retractor. Instead, a solenoid inside the retractor is used to lock and unlock the seat belt when electrically signaled to a remote g-sensor. The remote g-sensor is located inside the Seat belt Control Timer Module (SCTM) . The SCTM is located under the center console. Tile seat belt retractor solenoid is located in the seat back and is serviced as a assembly.
When the solenoids are powered, the seat belt can be moved. When the solenoids are not powered, the seat belts can not be extracted. This is necessary to ensure that occupants are always safe, even in the case of a power loss during an accident. Whether the seat belts are in lock or unlock position, an occupant can always release the seat belt and it will retract.
The Seat Belt Control Timer Module controls the power to the seat belt solenoids. It supplies power continuously to the seat belts whenever the ignition key is in the RUN or ACCESSORY position. The module has two other unique functions: that of a timer and a g-sensor.
The Seat Belt Control Timer Module was designed with a timer function so that when the vehicle is not in use, the battery would not be prematurely drained. The module times out after approximately 30 minutes if no inputs are send to the module. The module will power the seat belts for a set period of time when there is a input:
Either door ajar switch (open or closed)
Ignition switch moved from RUN or ACCESSARY to the OFF position.
Each time one of these input occurs, the timer is reset to keep the belts powered for 30 minutes .
The G-Sensor function of the Seat Belt Control Timer Module will cut power to the seat belt whenever:
The vehicle accelerates or decelerates at a rate greater than or equal to 0.7g in any direction.
The vehicle is tilted to an angle greater than or equal to 45 degrees .
Input of ignition switch in the RUN or ACCESSORY position will cause the module to power the seat belts as long as the condition exists.
The SCTM incorporates limited diagnostics. The detectable faults include solenoid shorted to ground, open or shorted to battery, internal fault, or no acceleration within the past 10 timer cycles. Faults are communicated to the seatbelt lamp via a single fault line to another module. The other module communicates the fault on the bus to the cluster/lamp.
