Just looked it up, and your ride does have a separate Seat Belt Controller unlike most other N/I models. You can find the wiring diagram here starting on SB-7:

The controller does give a rudimentary blinky code you can see on SB-4, but unlike the Airbag Brain, it will only tell you it has a problem, not what the problem is. For that you need to scan it with a capable scanner (very few cars have these, so it's likely only the Nissan Consults are capable). However, the blinky code
can tell you whether the controller is operational or not. If it isn't, then a used one may do the trick. It's located in the trunk, see SB-3.
