Pinpoint Test B : B1305:01: Notes

Diagnostic Overview

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions 

When the alarm system is armed, the BCM monitors the hood switch. If the hood is opened while the alarm is armed, the hood switch removes ground from the signal circuit. This signals the BCM that an unauthorized intrusion to the engine compartment has occurred and the BCM activates the alarm.
