  3. Check for continuity between the terminals.
    • There should be continuity between the terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when the hood is opened (lever released).
    • There should be no continuity between the terminals No. 1 and No. 2 when the hood is closed (lever pushed down).
  4. If the continuity is not as specified, the switch is faulty; replace the hood latch (see HOOD LATCH REPLACEMENT ).
