• Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on 2001 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The rear bumper fascia needs removal as the first step before replacing the rear object sensor. The locking tabs on the housing need to be lifted before pulling out the rear object sensor . The spring should be squeezed first before the housing tabs allow you to remove the components. Push the rear object sensor bezel out from the fascia opening to complete the bezel removal. When installing the new rear object sensor it is necessary to paint it while avoiding any touch-up work on previously painted sensors. Make sure the non-ferrous metal paint thickness reaches at most 6 mils by using an appropriate gauge for these materials. Apply the keyhole of the key to its position and gently drive the rear object sensor bezel until it rests evenly with the fascia surface. Place the housing into cutouts on the bezel after turning the fascia backward while placing spring keys at the bottom and top of the housing. Place the spring into the housing before putting on the decoupling ring to the sensor. Insert the sensor through the housing until its connector reaches the passenger side of the fascia while pressing its tabs into the housing cutouts. To finish the repair process connect the electrical connector followed by installation of the rear bumper fascia.
