Honda Pilot Hood Cable

The Honda Pilot Hood Cable allows drivers to quickly pop the hood for maintenance by connecting the cabin lever to the dual latch setup. A heavy inner wire slips in a protective sheath so that if you simply pull on the release handle, the latch will pop free and the panel will be able to rise. In early years, a single Hood Cable ran from the lever to a junction block and then two shorter leads to each latch, three total on each load sharing. Later Pilot versions are based on an integrated long Hood Cable running straight to the primary latch, with a secondary Hood Cable branching off near the nose, reducing parts and weight. These upgrades mirror Honda refinements as the Pilot grew in size, but all Hood Cable designs still follow the same idea of pull and release. Frayed strands or cracked sheathing are an invitation to water, rust, and sticking, which can result in the hood being locked shut. Regular checks help keep the Honda latch action crisp and the Pilot easy to service, and the installation of a fresh Hood Cable helps to restore the smooth function of any Honda on the road.
