Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shock.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and in park mode.

2. Inspect and Clean Sensors

• Locate all parking sensors on the front and rear bumpers.
• Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean each sensor lens thoroughly.
• Inspect each sensor for cracks, dents, or corrosion.

3. Check Wiring Connections

• Remove the bumper cover if necessary to access wiring.
• Inspect all wiring harness connections for secure fitment and damage.
• Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as needed.

4. Replace Faulty Sensors

• If a specific sensor is found to be non-functional, use a socket set to remove the faulty sensor.
• Install the new sensor by securing it in place and reconnecting the wiring harness.
• Ensure the new sensor is compatible with the vehicle’s system.

5. Reassemble and Test

• Reattach the bumper cover, ensuring all fasteners are secured to manufacturer specifications.
• Reconnect the vehicle battery.
• Test the parking sensors by moving an object close to the sensors to check for audible alerts and warning lights.
