Park Assist Sensor - Installation

INSTALLATION

NOTE: The park assist sensors and the sensor O-ring spacers are each available for separate service replacement. The following service procedure can be used for reassembling any or all of these components to the rear bumper fascia.

WARNING: The outside sensors are located in the area of the engine exhaust; allow exhaust to cool before accessing the sensors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.






NOTE: Production and all service replacement O-ring spacers are tapered. The wide side (base) of the O-ring should be seated against the sensor housing and the narrow side should be oriented toward the outer surface of the sensor membrane and the rear fascia molding.

1. If the park assist sensor (3) or the sensor spacer (2) are being replaced, engage the O-ring spacer around the circumference of the sensor membrane protrusion.






NOTE: Be certain that each sensor membrane is properly centered in the openings of the rear fascia molding and that the O-ring spacers are not pinched. Improper centering or pinched O-rings can be detrimental to proper park assist sensor operation.

2. Align and insert the sensor into the sensor bracket on the back of the rear bumper fascia until the bracket latch features (2) are fully engaged over the top and bottom tabs of the sensor. Be certain that the sensor membrane is flush with the outer surface of the fascia molding.
3. From the back of the fascia, reconnect the wire harness connector to the sensor connector receptacle (1).
4. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
