Reverse Sensor

The first step for replacing the rear object sensor requires disconnecting the electrical connector attached to it. Lift the housing locking tabs to remove the sensor after disconnecting electrical cables. Installing a new sensor requires discarding previous paint on the sensors because surplus paint accumulation will lead to sensor inoperability. Basecoat/Clearcoat systems should be used to paint the rear object sensor while checking for a maximum thickness of 6 mils with a suitable non-ferrous metal paint thickness gauge. A silicone decoupling ring needs installation on the sensor because it protects against sensor breakdown. Place the sensor inside its housing and join the electrical connector to the rear object sensor.

First disconnect the electrical connector of the sensor before proceeding with replacement. Raise each locking tab on the housing before the sensor can be removed. New sensor installation must avoid refinishing previously painted sensors because such buildups will make the sensor unusable. Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems should be used to paint the rear object sensor while keeping the paint layer under 6 mils thin by using a non-ferrous metal-friendly paint thickness gauge (Paint Gages). Assume the following positioning: put the sensor into its housing while attaching the electrical connector to the rear object sensor.

The replacement process of the rear object sensor starts by disconnecting its electrical connector. You must lift the locking tabs situated on the housing to take out the sensor. The installation process requires new sensor insertion only without refinishing previously painted areas because additional paint will deactivate the sensor. Install the paint on the rear object sensor while using a non-ferrous metal paint thickness gauge to prevent the paint from exceeding 6 mils. Proceed by inserting the sensor into its housing after painting before connecting the electrical connector to the rear object sensor.

The replacement process of the rear object sensor starts with disconnecting the electrical connector from its location. Minimum exposure of the sensor requires users to lift all locking tabs before pulling it out. The installation of new sensors should not include finishing previously painted sensors since extra paint accumulation can make the sensor stop working. The rear object sensor should be painted using Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems following a strict paint thickness regulation of 6 mils which can be checked through suitable non-ferrous metal paint thickness gauges. Follow the painting process by placing the sensor into the housing then attach the electrical connector to the rear object sensor.
