What I've read is that it's a bad sensor that doesn't alert the driver when their hood isn't latched before they start driving, not a bad latch that fails during a drive
Makes sense. You unlatch the hood through the app or the touch screen.
I did have one instance where I didn’t lock my phone screen and somehow “butt dialed” to unlatch the hood. I didn’t realize it happened until the car displayed a popup and refused to drive until it was latched
A bad sensor would clearly interfere with this error handling
