Factory system, I assume?

First thing to check would probably be the hood and/or trunk pins, if so
equipped, and make sure the hood and trunk are both closing properly.
On our Dodge minivan, if you accidentally pop the hood (the hood release
is where you'd expect the e-brake release to be...), it doesn't LOOK
popped, but it's got enough play that a gust of wind can lift it enough
to trigger the hood pin. Next I'd check the door pins, make sure
they're mounted solidly, and that the doors are closing fully (driver's
door sags on my old '87 Accord and it has to be closed REALLY GOOD, or
it will LOOK closed, but be still be open enough for the pin switch to
make contact).
