• Q: How to replace the rear Parking Assist Distance Sensor on 2006 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The process begins with fascia removal from the rear bumper pair and disconnection of the electrical connector of the rear object sensor. You need to perform two steps for rear object sensor replacement. First lift the locking tabs on the housing then remove the rear object sensor and afterward squeeze the spring to break the attachment to the housing before releasing the housing tabs for extraction. Push the rear object sensor bezel through the fascia in order to remove it. During installation paint the new rear object sensor while avoiding the refinement of existing sensors and verify that the applied paint layer stays within the 6 mils threshold through proper non-ferrous metal paint thickness measurement tools. Clamp the keyhole with the key and push the rear object sensor bezel to rest directly on the fascia. You should mount the housing to its cutouts on the bezel from behind the fascia before putting the spring onto the housing where the spring keys should face up and down. Begin by attaching the decoupling ring to the sensor and put the sensor inside the housing with the connector at the passenger side of the fascia until the sensor tabs reach the cutouts of the housing. Attaching the electrical connector to the rear object sensor completes the installation process by allowing you to reinstall the rear bumper fascia.
