- 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.

- 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.
