The rear integration module (RIM) 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 RIM should never be the same voltage with the hood opened or closed. If the 2 voltage signal should have the same voltage value DTC B3006 will set.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B3006 Hood Ajar Circuit
The vehicle has DTCs including the DTC symptoms. Refer to DTC Symptom Description for more DTC information.
DTC Symptom  | DTC Symptom Descriptor  | 
|---|---|
5A  | Seeming Faults  | 
This DTC shall run when the Run/Crank Relay is enabled.
If both the hood open switch signal circuit and the hood closed switch signal circuit are simultaneously in a high or low voltage state.
| • | Remote start functions will be disabled. | 
| • | The hood ajar switch inputs will be ignored by content theft deterrent (CTD). | 
When conditions for the DTC to set no longer exist, the DTC will be cleared.

 Is the voltage measured greater than the specified value?  | 10V  | Go to Step 3  | Go to Step 4  | ||||||
Measure the voltage from the hood ajar switch closed signal circuit to a good ground. Is the voltage measured greater than the specified value?  | 10V  | Go to Step 8  | Go to Step 6  | |||||||
4  | Measure the voltage from the hood ajar switch open signal circuit to a good ground. Is the voltage measured greater than the specified value?  | 10V  | Go to Step 7  | Go to Step 5  | ||||||
5  | Test the hood open switch signal circuit of the hood ajar switch for the following: 
 
 
 Refer to Circuit Testing . Did you find and correct the condition?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | Go to Step 9  | ||||||
6  | Test the hood closed switch signal circuit of the hood ajar switch for the following: 
 
 
 Refer to Circuit Testing . Did you find and correct the condition?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | Go to Step 9  | ||||||
7  | Repair the ground circuit of the hood ajar switch. Refer to Wiring Repairs . Is the repair complete?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | --  | ||||||
8  | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the hood ajar switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | Go to Step 10  | ||||||
9  | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the hood ajar switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | Go to Step 11  | ||||||
10  | Replace the hood ajar switch. Refer to Hood Ajar Indicator Lamp Switch Replacement . Is the replacement complete?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | --  | ||||||
11  | Replace the Rear Integration Module (RIM). Refer to 148097 . Is the replacement complete?  | --  | Go to Step 12  | --  | ||||||
