Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the hood ajar switch.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hood Closed Switch and Hood Open Switch parameters are Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the applicable signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RIM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the hood open switch signal circuit terminal and ground. Verify the scan tool Hood Open Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the hood closed switch signal circuit terminal and ground. Verify the scan tool Hood Closed Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the hood ajar switch.
