A tension sensing assembly (10, 110, 210) for a seat restraint system (12) in a vehicle (14) includes a housing (44) and a movable mechanism (60) disposed in the housing (44). The tension sensing assembly (10, 110, 210) also includes at least one spring (78) disposed in the housing (44) and cooperable with the movable mechanism (60). The tension sensing assembly (10, 110, 210) includes at least one magnet (80) disposed in the housing (44) and a Hall effect sensor (82) disposed in the housing (44) and cooperable with the at least one magnet (80). The tension sensing assembly (10, 110, 210) further includes a cable (90, 190, 290) extending through the housing (44) and cooperable with the movable mechanism (60) to move the movable mechanism (60) to deflect the at least one spring (78). The movable mechanism (60) moves at least one magnet (80) relative to the Hall effect sensor (82) to change an output of the Hall effect sensor (82) to indicate a tension level in the seat restraint system (12) when the at least one spring (78) is deflected. |
