Check for continuity between the terminals
- There should be continuity between terminals No 1 and No 2 when the hood is opened (latch released)
- There should be no continuity between terminals No 1 and No 2 when the hood is closed (latch pushed down)
If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hood latch assembly (see HOOD LATCH REPLACEMENT )
