  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the left hood hinge actuator.
  2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the high control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIDS module.
  3. Test for less than 1 volt between the low control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIDS module.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the high control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIDS module.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the low control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIDS module.
  6. Test for less then 1 ohm of resistance between the high control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  7. Test for less then 1 ohm of resistance between the low control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the hood hinge actuator.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
