REAR

REMOVAL




1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

NOTE: The two outboard rear park assist sensors can be accessed for service with the rear bumper fascia installed on the vehicle.

2. For the two inboard rear park assist sensors only, remove the bumper fascia from the rear of the vehicle.
3. From the back of the fascia (4), disconnect the wire harness connector from the park assist sensor (3) connector receptacle.
4. Carefully pry the sensor bracket (1) latch features away from the top and bottom tabs of the sensor far enough to disengage the sensor from the bracket.
5. Disengage the O-ring spacer (2) from around the circumference of the sensor membrane protrusion.

INSTALLATION




1. Engage the O-ring spacer (2) around the circumference of the sensor (3) 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 into the sensor bracket (3) on the back of the rear bumper fascia (4) until the bracket latch features 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.

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 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.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
