Lexus NX: Rear Seat Belt Warning Light Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) detects whether either rear door is open or closed based on the condition of the left and right courtesy light switches and then sends the rear door status signal to the combination meter assembly. The combination meter assembly detects the rear seat belt state. The rear seat belt warning lights on the air conditioning control assembly illuminate or turn off in accordance with the rear door state, vehicle speed and rear seat belt state.
