Before working on the front outboard seat belt in a Club Cab, turn off the supplemental restraint system by disconnecting the negative
Battery Cable and letting it sit for two minutes to discharge the system cap. Look at each belt, buckle, hardware, retractor, tether strap and anchor for proper connection, function or damage, changing any cut, frayed or torn belts and tightening any loose fasteners. If you have an issue with the belt or retractor but the tensioner is intact, deal with it by following the steps for handling undeployed supplemental restraints; however, if it is deployed, follow the procedures you would for service once the tensioner has gone off. For removing, change the seat into its furthest front location, remove a screw from a bolt in the lower anchor on the outboard edge of the front seat and pull off the two plastic push-pins securing the cover to the retractor. Higher the trim cover to take the pins out of the locator slots and then pull the lower parts of the trim halves apart to remove the spring clips. Peel off the trim halves, reposition the scuff plates a little, unplug the lead from the seat belt tensioner initiator on the body wire harness and unscrew the retractor bracket from the floor panel. Work the roof trim away from the headliner so that you can free the snaps. Also, take out the screws that connect the seat belt turning loop and height adjuster bracket from the roof rail. Get rid of the front seat belt and its retractor as a unit. Secure the seat belt turning loop and height adjuster bracket into the holes in the roof rail, screw them in until they reach 39 N.m (29 ft. lbs) and push the trim cover in so its clips lock together. Set the retractor mounting bracket into the headrest holes, keeping the seat belt webbing undisturbed, then tighten the screws to 39 N.m (29 ft. lbs). Slot the body wire harness connector into the seat belt tensioner initiator, slide the scuff plates over the seatbelt and place the trim halves so the snaps lock in place. Put the lower trim cover onto the retractor, so the pins go into the holes on the trim cover, put back the plastic push-pin retainers, secure the lower anchor by the mounting hole on the outer side of the front seat cushion frame, then tighten the screw to 39 N.m (29 ft. lbs). The battery negative cable should not be connected again until the supplemental restraint system verification test is done after any additional restraint part is serviced.
