Disable seat belt alarm on 2006 Hyundai Sonata
I disabled the annoying chime that sounds when the the driver's seat
belt is unfastened. It required a T10 torx screwdriver to remove the 2 screws holding the cover on the seat belt buckle receptacle. There are 2 wires, one blue and one yellow, that are soldered onto a small piece of circuit board held in place in the cover. There are 2 circuit traces on the board and a sliding jumper. When the seat belt is inserted, the jumper is pushed back to where it no longer shorts the blue and yellow wires together. When the seat belt is unfastened, the jumper slides forward and shorts the wires together. The annoying warning chime sounds when the blue and yellow wires are shorted. All you need to do is snip one of the wires with a set of dykes. There is another pair of wires going to another sensor in the seat belt receptacle. These are buried in the receptacle, unlike the blue and yellow wires which are in the cover of the receptacle. They are presumably utilized by the air bag system, and shouldn't be cut. The blue and yellow wires in the cover only serve to provide the annoying chime whenever you unfasten your seat belt and can be safely snipped. |

I would have been happy with the newer programming that Sonata's built after 9/15/05 have, but mine is truly annoying beyond anything I've ever experienced before. It MAKES me always wear the seatbelt. The dealer could not do anything for me. > The blue and yellow wires in the cover only serve to provide the annoying > chime whenever you unfasten your seat belt and can be safely snipped. How exactly do you know this? Have you verified this via schematic on the HMA site? I studied the schematic once myself, but didn't have the time to devote to make 100% sure I was right. I would really hate to have this interact with the air bag system someone without my knowledge. Thanks. Eric |

I would assume there is much more to control deployment of the airbags. I would hope the key would have to be in the ignition (and on) at the very minimum. Maybe you would even have to be in gear as well. With that said, I'm leaning towards the thinking that this one switch should have no effect on the airbag, but I am going to try and study the schematic a bit more before trusting that. Eric |

That switch affects the pretensioner, and the two level discharch of the airbags. How about the less invasive approach. Find the "dinger", and put a piece of tape over the hole. You'll still hear it, but it will be much less annoying. |
