The electrical connectors to the rear object sensor need to be detached before trying to replace it. Press the housing lock tabs until you can remove the rear object sensor. Apply a small-size screwdriver to detach the housing tabs while you gently pull out the spring through the use of . Pushing the tabs from the housing interior will expose it so you can slide the bezel through the fascia. An operator must paint the new rear object sensor while being cautious to avoid refinished sensors because sensor operation fails with excessive paint buildup; a proper paint thickness gauge checks that the paint does not surpass 6 mils for non-ferrous metals. Take the sensor bezel and fit it inside the fascia so that the keyhole lines up with the key while the bezel sharp ends push from inside. Put the housing into position on the bezel while working on the fascia's rear face until it secures in the bezel's cutouts. Push the spring into place inside the housing until it reaches complete seating position and verify that the sensor remains tightly attached against the bumper fascia at its mounting points on the top and bottom housing surface. Place the decoupling ring on the sensor before placing the sensor within the housing while directing its connector towards the passenger side of the fascia where the housing tabs should snap into placement. Finally, connect the electrical connectors.

The first step to replacing a rear object sensor should start with removing the rear fascia then disconnecting the electrical connector from the rear object sensor. Begin sensor replacement by untightening the tabs which secure the device to its housing before extracting the rear object sensor out of the housing unit along with its retainer ring. Prior to installing the sensor, paint its new surface avoiding application on any existing sensor paint for sensor operations will become compromised by thick paint accumulation. An appropriate non-ferrous metal paint thickness gage verifies the maximum 6 mils thickness of paint. Fitting of the sensor retainer ring begins followed by sensor position to the sensor housing before fully inserting the sensor into place. To complete this procedure you should reattach the electrical connector to the sensor then reinstall the rear fascia.

The first step to replace the rear object sensor requires disconnecting its electrical connections. After lifting the housing locking tabs you should take out the rear object sensor. A small screwdriver at should be used to release tabs before the spring can be removed. The housing tabs must experience interior pressure until detachment occurs while you push the bezel through the fascia to remove it. The new rear object sensor requires paint application but processing the previously painted sensors will make the component defective so avoid excessive paint accumulation which can be checked using a non-ferrous suitable paint thickness gauge and must stay under 6 mils. Insert the main keyhole of the sensor bezel into its proper position then apply pressure to the bezel to push it through the fascia. Push the housing onto the bezel from behind the fascia until the bezel cutouts receive the housing. To put the spring into the housing allow it to reach the complete seating position with the sensor maintaining its firm position against the bumper fascia through placement of spring keys on both the housing's upper and lower sections. Place the decoupling ring on the sensor before inserting the sensor into the housing with the connector facing the passenger fascia. Then check the sensor tabs fit the cutouts on the housing. Finally, connect the electrical connectors.

Start by disconnecting all electrical connectors connecting to the rear object sensor. Climb to the notches that lock the housing then detach the rear object sensor. A small-size screwdriver at helps users release tabs before removing the spring from the system. After pushing the tabs from inside the housing you can pull out the assembly after pushing the bezel through the fascia. Render the new rear object sensor while carefully avoiding previous sensor surface paint to prevent sensor malfunction due to too much paint accumulation. The maximum acceptable paint thickness is 6 mils. A paint thickness gauge specific for non-ferrous metals should verify that the paint layer stays below 6 mils during application. Place the keyhole component adjacent to its designated position on the key before pushing the sensor bezel into the fascia. Secure the housing onto the bezel by placing it through the fascia's backside until all bezel cutouts properly accept the housing. Push the spring into the housing until it reaches the complete seat position while maintaining firm sensor attachment to the bumper fascia through spring keys located on housing ends. Use the sensor's decoupling ring to mount it before setting the sensor inside the housing so its connector faces the passenger-side fascia surface while tabs lock into housing cutouts. Finally, connect the electrical connectors.

You need to remove the rear bumper fascia before starting the replacement of the rear object sensor. You should first disconnect the electrical connector from the rear object sensor before you lift the housing locking tabs to remove the rear object sensor. Pressing the spring will break its connection with the housing while the tabs on the housing need to be released to remove the part. The rear object sensor bezel must be pushed through the fascia to remove it. When installing a rear object sensor never apply refinishing to previously painted components instead the new element must follow Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems. Check that non-ferrous metal paint thickness remains below 6 mil through usage of a suitable gage. Apply the keyhole to the key before pushing the rear object sensor bezel against the fascia until it rests flat. Install the housing into its cutouts inside the bezel at the back side of the fascia with spring keys fixed at the top and bottom of the housing. You should install the spring to the housing before placing the decoupling ring onto the sensor. Place the sensor into the housing by facing the connector toward the passenger side of the fascia while pressing its tabs through the cutouts on the housing . You must attach the electrical connector to the rear object sensor before reinstalling the rear bumper fascia.

Replacement of the rear object sensor begins with taking off the rear fascia and cutting off the electrical connector attached to the sensor. Detach the locking tabs from the sensor housing to remove the rear object sensor while also taking off its retainer ring from the sensor housing. Operating the new rear object sensor requires refraining from touching previously painted sensors because built-up paint will make the sensor unusable. Use a suitable paint thickness gage for non-ferrous metals to apply paint on the new rear object sensor while maintaining a thickness below 6 mils. You should install the sensor retainer ring onto the sensor before positioning the sensor into the sensor housing and completely seating it into the housing. The electrical connector should be installed on the sensor before putting back the rear fascia.

Finally, connect the electrical connectors.

A first step to replace the rear object sensor includes disconnecting all electrical connections from the sensor component. Open the locking tabs of the housing before you can remove the rear object sensor . You should use a small size screwdriver to press the tabs at before removing the spring. You should pull the tabs from inside the housing to take out the housing before you slide the bezel into the fascia. Painting the sensor bezel matching the bumper fascia color constitutes the entire procedure while refraining from sensor painting. Press the sensor bezel into place when its keyhole matches with the key while fitting the fascia. Install the housing toward the back of the fascia while maintaining the spring keys placed at both top and bottom of the housing until it fits the cutouts on the bezel properly. Move the spring into the housing until it reaches complete seating point while making sure the bumper fascia retains a secure hold on the sensor. To begin install the decoupling ring onto the sensor before putting the sensor inside the housing with the electronics facing the passenger side of the fascia. Position the sensor tabs inside the cutouts of the housing . Finally, connect the electrical connectors.
