Q: How to service and repair the Parking Assist Distance Sensor on Cadillac CTS?
A: Proceed with the replacement of rear object sensors by taking out the rear bumper fascia first. First disconnect the electrical connector from the rear object sensor before lifting the housing locking tabs to take out the sensor. The installation of a new sensor requires avoiding paint application on previously painted sensors since extra paint will disable operational functionality. Use a basecoat/clearcoat paint combination to coat the rear object sensor but do not apply more than 6 mils of paint by inspecting it with a suitable paint thickness gauge for non-ferrous metals (Paint Gages ()). Starting from installation of the sensor into its housing, complete the sequence with electrical connector connection and ending with the rear bumper fascia reinstallation.
Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on Cadillac Escalade?
A: The first step to replace a rear object sensor requires disconnecting its electrical connectors. After lifting the locking tabs you should remove the rear object sensor from its housing. The small screwdriver of the specified length releases tabs before you remove the spring. You should push the tabs from within the housing space to remove it and afterward move the bezel through the fascia by pressing. The application of paint to the new rear object sensor requires special attention because painting previously painted areas will render the sensor non-operational; the maximum paint thickness should be 6 mils according to measurements from a suitable paint thickness gauge for non-ferrous metals. Push the sensor bezel into position through the fascia after aligning its keyhole with the key according to the bumper fascia color. The housing should be installed onto the bezel by putting it into the fascia rear openings so it snaps into position. The spring installation to the housing requires complete seating where both spring keys should sit on top and bottom housing surfaces to maintain sensor attachment to the bumper fascia. Lay the decoupling ring on the sensor before putting the sensor into the housing with the electrical connector facing toward the passenger side fascia and check for proper placement of the housing's sensor tabs. Finally, connect the electrical connectors.
Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on Cadillac XLR?
A: 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.
