Volvo seatbelt tied into engine shutdown?

You should know better, driving around with loose articlesin the cab!
A professional would never.. could never..
Ah just throw the junk in the floor it’ll be fine

 

Probably depends on the programing of the ECU. I have never seen it setup to go into shutdown mode over seat belts. I regularly drive a Volvo day cab around plants that are large enough that it would cause it if it were going to happen.

But, you never know, without reading the ECU

 

If there is a sensor in the seat, yes.
Or could be totally unrelated.

I have a New Holland skid-steer that has two sensors in the seat,
and if you don't have the seat belt around you,
not just together on seat, it wont start.
I bought the thing from a guy that just had it sitting for years.
He couldn't get it to start. Fixed all the green, corroded seat wiring
connections, bought a new seat, pulled all kinds of crap
out of the two buttons that operated the switches when you sit down.
Still nothing, put the seat belt around me, instead of on seat, nothing.
Then un-clipped the belt, and let it fully retract - click - I heard a relay
in motor compartment reset. STARTED!!!
So each time I have to fully retract the belt,
to get starter circuit operational.

 

Unplug that seat belt latch wire under the back of seat and stick a paper clip in it. It's simply grounding a circuit. Plead the 5th if ever questioned.

Dealer could turn it off if it was your truck.
