PINPOINT TEST A : The Alarm System Does Not Activate from an Unauthorized Entry at the Hood

A1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs IN THE BCM
- Ignition ON.
- Using a scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B1305:01 present?

Yes GO to Pinpoint Test B .

No GO to A2.

A2 CHECK THE HOOD AJAR SWITCH (HOOD_SW) PID
- Using a scan tool, view BCM PIDs.
- Monitor the BCM PID HOOD_SW while disconnecting the hood switch.
- Disconnect: Hood Switch.
Does the BCM PID read AJAR when the switch is disconnected?

Yes INSTALL a new hood switch.

No GO to A3.

A3 CHECK THE HOOD SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: BCM C2280F.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C127-1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes	GO to A4.
No	REPAIR the circuit.

A4 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.

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

Reconnect all BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

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 REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules .
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.
