A wireless lock module is disclosed that is operable to control the ability to open a hood of a vehicle. The wireless lock module includes a transceiver that receives wireless control commands from a control device, such as a smartphone. Upon receiving the control commands, the transceiver communicate with a controller contained within the wireless lock module. The controller, in turn, controls the operation of an actuator to selectively move a locking device into position to either permit opening of the vehicle hood or restrict opening of the vehicle hood. The locking device can include a jam block that is positioned to selectively allow a hood latch to rotate between an engaged position and a release position. The wireless lock module can include an internal power supply such that the entire wireless lock module is a self-contained device that can be positioned within the engine compartment of the vehicle.
