NOTE:

The park assist sensors (1) and the resilient sensor spacers (2) (also known as decoupling rings or O-rings) are each available for separate service replacement. The sensor brackets (3) are bonded to and integral to the back side of the front bumper fascia (4).

  1. Engage the O-ring spacer (2) 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 front bumper fascia.

  2. Align and insert the sensor (1) into the sensor bracket (3) behind the front bumper fascia (4) until the bracket latch features are fully engaged over the latch tabs of the sensor.
    NOTE:

    Be certain that each sensor membrane is properly centered in the openings of the front fascia and that the resilient O-ring spacers are not pinched. Improper centering or pinched O-rings can be detrimental to proper park assist sensor operation. Be certain that the sensor membrane is flush with the outer surface of the fascia.

  3. From the back of the front bumper fascia, reconnect the wire harness connector to the sensor connector receptacle.
  4. Reinstall the front bumper fascia onto the vehicle. Refer to FASCIA, FRONT, INSTALLATION .
  5. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), reconnect the IBS connector.
