Hood Switch Test

1. Open the hood.




2. Disconnect the 2P connector from the hood switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals.
- There should be continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when the hood is opened (latch released).
- There should be no continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when the hood is closed (latch pushed down).

4. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hood latch assembly.
