There is a switch inside the hood latch that monitors whether the hood is open or not. If the switch is stuck or faulty it will report as the hood being open. Follow the wires from the hood latch assembly to make sure there are no breaks, kinks, or damage. If the wires look good then 95% of the time replacing the hood latch assembly will fix this particular issue.
