I thought it may be the remote, I purchased a new one it still happens. I tried unhooking the hood sensor, it still trips, my question is, how can I determine which sensor is causing this to happen?

Hi,

If this happens when the vehicle is running, chances are it is related to the alarm module. What I would suggest is having the can bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the computers/modules in the vehicle are tied together via a few wires. Here is a link that explains it and how it's done. If there is a fault in the system, this should retrieve diagnostic codes specific to the issue.

The module itself can also be tested. I attached the directions below. It is much more involved. Take a look through them and let me know if this is something you are comfortable doing. It is quite extensive.

Here is a link that you may find helpful if you decide to test the module:

Take care and let me know what I can do to help.
