HOOD OPEN Warning in Toyota Camry XLE - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

vrkesari · 04-12-2010, 11:10 AM

Hi, I am getting "Hood Open" warning even though it was closed. I tried open and close it for several time but it is still showing the same warning. Can any one please suggest me steps to look into this issue. Where to look for the sensor and what steps needs to be taken for taking care of this issue.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Oh wow! I didn't know such a warning existed! My car gives no warning if my hood isn't shut...

Mine doesn't either. I'll check the XLE later to see if one comes up!

Hi, I am getting a warning signal for this Hood Open. I didn't get it previously. I am getting now. Please let me know where to check that.

the owners manual for starters

The sensor is part of the hood latch.

The wiring comes almost straight up to and below the latch.

The strippers are not equipped with the hood theft prevention sensor.
