HOOD LOCK CONTROL: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If the hood lock cable is bent or deformed, replace it.
  1. Check that the secondary latch is properly engaged with the hood lock stay by hood weight.
  2. While operating the hood opener, carefully check that the front end of the hood is raised by approximately 20 mm (0.79 in). Also check that the hood opener returns to the original position.
  3. Check that the hood opener operating is 49 N (5.0 kg) or below.
  4. Install so that static closing force of the hood is 315 - 490 N.m (32.1 - 50.0 kg-m).
    NOTE:
    • Exercise vertical force on right side and left side of hood lock.
    • Do not press simultaneously both sides.
  5. Check the hood lock lubrication condition. If necessary, apply body grease to the hood lock.
