  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 (latch pushed down).
  5. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hood latch (see HOOD LATCH REPLACEMENT ).
