Located in your owners manual OR one you can view/download Dead Link Removed


Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature (driver’s side)- Late
Availability
Read steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The BeltMinder feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the
following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
• The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)
• The ignition switch is in the OFF position
• The driver and passenger safety belt is unbuckled


1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1
minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt on the driver’s side 9 times,
ending in the unbuckled state. (Step 3 must be completed within
50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.)
• After step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be
turned on for three seconds.
4. Within 10 seconds of the light turning on, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt once.
• This will disable the BeltMinder feature if it is currently enabled. As
confirmation, the restraint system warning light will flash 4 times per
second for 3 seconds.
• This will enable the BeltMinder feature if it is currently disabled. As
confirmation, the restraint system warning light will flash 4 times per
second for 3 seconds, followed by 3 seconds with the light off, then
followed by the restraint system warning light flashing 4 times per
second for 3 seconds again.

It worked on my '04, but took two trys. It will still sound but only one cycle after about 30 seconds of driving.

Will this work on a 2001?

Good info Steve. I found one misprint in the owners manual procedure above:

3. Buckle, then unbuckle, the safety belt THREE times, ending with the
safety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during BeltMinder
warning activation.

(Some manuals say NINE times) Three clicks worked for me.

* Try this procedure in NEUTRAL if this does not work. GL
