Engine Hood Switch Circuit Range/Performance
The hood switch is electrically intact, but its state is implausible — for example reporting hood-open while vehicle speed is rising, or rapid toggles. Usually a worn switch with high contact bounce or a misaligned hood actuator.
Affected components
- Hood switch
Common causes
- High likelihood: Worn switch with contact bounce
- Medium likelihood: Misaligned hood actuator
- Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
