  4. Check for continuity between the terminals.
    • There should be continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when the hood is opened (latch released).
    • There should be no continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals when the hood is closed and completely latched.
  5. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hood latch assembly (see HOOD LATCH REPLACEMENT ).
