Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - 370Z MY 10 - Pop Up Hood light illuminating after a frontal impact

MDodampegama · 02-02-2012, 05:30 PM

They tried to clear the code and reset the warning, but the pop up hood trip sign keeps coming back. This is because the pop up hood safety system was physically tripped from the frontal impact. This can physically trip without having significant bumper damage (This is the case in incident).

If this system activates, I am wondering is it a once off thing. I am not sure why they are replacing whole sensors and control unit associated to the pop up hood technology in the 370Z cars. Please see the Nissan link associated to this safety "Pop Up Hood Technology"

Any ideas or prior experiences are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
