Possible cause	• Bonnet latch switch connector or terminal malfunction • Open circuit in wiring harness between bonnet latch switch terminal B and body ground • Bonnet latch switch malfunction • Rear body control module (RBCM) connector or terminal malfunction • Open circuit in wiring harness between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3L and bonnet latch switch terminal A • Rear body control module (RBCM) malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step	Inspection		Action
1	VERIFY REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) DTCs AGAIN • Clear rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)].) • Perform the DTC inspection for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)].) • Is DTC B1079:13 displayed?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Go to Step 8.
2	INSPECT BONNET LATCH SWITCH CONNECTOR • Switch the ignition to off. • Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].) • Disconnect the bonnet latch switch connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
3	INSPECT BONNET LATCH SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Verify that the bonnet latch switch connector is disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between bonnet latch switch terminal B (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit, then go to Step 7.
4	INSPECT BONNET LATCH SWITCH • Inspect the bonnet latch switch. (See BONNET LATCH SWITCH INSPECTION.) • Is the bonnet latch switch normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Replace the bonnet latch switch, then go to Step 7. (See BONNET LATCH AND RELEASE LEVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5	INSPECT REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the rear body control module (RBCM) connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
6	INSPECT BONNET LATCH SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Verify that the bonnet latch switch and rear body control module (RBCM) connectors are disconnected. • Inspect the wiring harness for an open circuit between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3L (vehicle wiring harness side) and bonnet latch switch terminal A (vehicle wiring harness side). • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit, then go to the next step.
7	VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED • Reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Reconnect the disconnected negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].) • Clear rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)].) • Perform the DTC inspection for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)].) • Is DTC B1079:13 displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the rear body control module (RBCM), then go to the next step. (See REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED • Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)].)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
