| Description of the problem | The passenger seat belt sensor sensed that there was someone in the seat when there wasn't. The chime kept going until i buckled the seat belt in. I called the subaru extended warranty person and their remedy was to turn key to the on position in the ignition, then, within 30 seconds, buckle and unbuckle the driver seat belt 20 times. She said that if the battery gets replaced or unhooked, i would have to do this 30 second 'drill' again. It did remedy the problem. |
