Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE HOOD SWITCH
    1. Disconnect: Hood Switch.
    2. Connect:
      Hood Switch Hood Switch
      G08037537
      G08037538
      C127 C127
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 CPL25 (BU/OG)
      G08037539
      2 GD120 (BK/GN)
    3. Using a scan tool, clear the BCM DTCs  .
    4. Using a scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

    Is the BCM DTC B1305:01 retrieved? 

    • Yes: REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to .
    • No: REMOVE the jumper wire. INSTALL a new hood switch.
  2. CHECK THE HOOD SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT
    1. Connect:
      Hood Switch Ground
      G08037540
      G08037541
      C127 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 CPL25 (BU/OG)
      G08037542
      1 Ground
    2. Using a scan tool, clear the BCM DTCs  .
    3. Using a scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

    Is the BCM DTC B1305:01 retrieved? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: REPAIR the ground circuit for an open.
  3. CHECK THE HOOD SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT TO THE BCM FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: BCM C2280F.
    3. Measure:
      Hood Switch BCM
      G08037543
      G08037544
      C127 C2280F
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 CPL25 (BU/OG)
      G08037545
      2 CPL25 (BU/OG)

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: REPAIR the circuit.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect all BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to Body Control Module (BCM) - without Intelligent Access (IA) or REFER to Body Control Module (BCM) - with Intelligent Access (IA).
    • No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
