Park Assist Sensor - Installation

INSTALLATION






NOTE: The park assist sensors (3) and the sensor spacers (O-rings) are each available for separate service replacement. The sensor brackets (5) are bonded to and integral to the back side of the rear bumper fascia (2).

1. Engage the O-ring spacer around the circumference of the sensor membrane protrusion.

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.

2. Align and insert the sensor (3) into the sensor bracket (5) on the back of the rear bumper fascia (2) until the bracket latch features (1) are fully engaged over the top and bottom latch tabs of the sensor. Be certain that the sensor membrane is flush with the outer surface of the fascia.

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

3. From the back of the fascia, reconnect the wire harness connector (4) to the sensor connector receptacle.
4. For the two inboard rear park assist sensors only, reinstall the bumper fascia onto the rear of the vehicle. Rear Bumper Fascia - Installation.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also reinstall the high voltage service disconnect into the high voltage battery pack.
