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