Hello 370Z Members,

My car had a minor frontal impact and it activated the pop up hood system, I took the car to a Nissan dealer in Australia to fix this system or to reset the activation.

The dealer advised me that the following parts has to be put into fix the Pop Up Engine Hood system.

* N/S/F Bumper Sensor
* O/S/F Bumper Sensor
* Front Bumper Reinforcement - Foam
* Front Bumper Reinforcement - Alloy
* O/S/F Bumper Slide
* N/S Bonnet Actuator
* O/S Bonnet Actuator
* N/S Bonnet Hinge
* O/S Bonnet Hinge

So I advised them to order the parts and once the parts arrived they took the car and tried to reset the pop up hood warning by installing the parts. Then they informed me there are still 2 error warning codes coming up after installing the above parts so they have to order 2 more parts to fix the repair, which are

* The Control Unit.
* Another front sensor.

There justification is that once the system is activated, its a once off use and the every part related to the pop up hood system has to be replaced.

This where I am bit confused, I thought the system is more than a once off usage. I understand replacing first set of parts are valid, but I feel they don't understand the overall system when they suggested that the control unit has to be replaced too .

Any thoughts on this issue ?

Replies are much appreciated,
Thank you very much

Regards.
