Diagnosis And Testing - Hood Ajar Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery.
  2. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the hood ajar switch.
  3. Check for continuity between the two terminals of the hood ajar switch. There should be continuity with the hood open, and only the continuity of the 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor with the hood closed. If OK, use a diagnostic scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic procedure to complete testing of the Body Control Module (BCM) (also known as the Common Body Controller/CBC) as well as the circuits between the BCM and the hood ajar switch. If not OK, replace the ineffective hood ajar switch.
