Storage Compartment Cover Lock Hall Sensors

There are two storage compartment cover lock hall sensor switches (S161: right, S158: left)  one mounted on each storage cover lock. The sensors receive power and ground from the CVM. Each sensor input provides a high signal when the cover is unlocked and the cover is raised by the hydraulic cylinders far enough to clear the latches.

When the storage cover is completely lowered by the hydraulic cylinders, the hall sensors send a signal to the CVM. The CVM then signals the GM to re-lock the storage cover.
