### DTC Descriptor

DTC B3006 5A: Hood Ajar Circuit Plausibility Failure

### Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the voltage input of the hood open switch signal circuit and the hood open closed switch signal circuit. During proper operation, the 2 separate voltage signals at the BCM should never be the same voltage with the hood opened or closed. If the 2 voltage signals should have the same voltage value DTC B3006 will set.

### Conditions for Running the DTC

This DTC shall run when the run/crank relay is enabled.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

If both the hood open switch signal circuit and the hood closed switch signal circuit are simultaneously in an active or inactive state.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | Remote start functions will be disabled.

• | The hood ajar switch inputs will be ignored by content theft deterrent (CTD).

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will clear when conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present

### Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Hood Open Switch and Hood Closed Switch parameters. With the hood open, the Hood Open Switch parameter should read Active and the Hood Closed Switch parameter should read Inactive. With the hood closed, the Hood Open Switch parameter should read Inactive and the Hood Closed Switch parameter should read Active.

### Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the hood ajar switch.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal and ground.

⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hood Closed Switch and Hood Open Switch parameters are Inactive.

⇒ | If not the specified value, test the applicable signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RIM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the hood open switch signal circuit terminal and ground. Verify the scan tool Hood Open Switch parameter is Active.

⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the hood closed switch signal circuit terminal and ground. Verify the scan tool Hood Closed Switch parameter is Active.

⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the hood ajar switch.

### Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
