Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the hood ajar switch
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hood Ajar Sw. Signal 1 parameter is greater than 11 volts
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- Verify the scan tool Hood Ajar Sw. Signal 2 parameter is greater than 11 volts
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the ground circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool Hood Ajar Sw. Signal 1 parameter is less than 1 volt
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the ground circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool Hood Ajar Sw. Signal 2 parameter is less than 1 volt
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the hood ajar switch
