Replace the hood cable when it feels stiff, frays, or fails to release the latch, since a damaged cable prevents safe access to the engine bay for routine maintenance.

• Replacement sign: Hard-to-open hood or a latch that won't release when you pull the handle, plus a loose or frayed cable.
• Approximate lifespan: Typically 150,000 km or more, depending on corrosion, rust, and how often it is used.
• Install requirement: Requires correct routing and tension adjustment; professional installation is recommended.
