Removal Procedure
Caution: Be careful when you handle a sensor. Do not strike or jolt a sensor.
Before applying power to a sensor:
• Remove any dirt, grease, etc. from the mounting surface. • Position the sensor horizontally on the mounting surface. • Point the arrow on the sensor toward the front of the vehicle. • Tighten all of the sensor fasteners and sensor bracket fasteners
to the specified torque value.
- Remove the hood latch from the hood latch support. Refer to Hood Primary and Secondary Latch Replacement .
- Remove the upper fascia support bracket from the hood latch support. Refer to Front Bumper Fascia Upper Support Replacement in Bumpers.
- Remove the bolts from the hood latch support at the upper and lower tie bars.
- Remove the nut from the hood latch support at the upper and lower tie bars.
Installation Procedure
- Install the latch support to the upper and lower tie bars.
- Install the hood latch support to upper tie bar bolts.
- Install the hood latch support to the lower tie bar nut.
- Install the upper fascia support bracket to latch support. Refer to Front Bumper Fascia Upper Support Replacement in Bumpers.
- Install the hood latch to hood latch support. Refer to Hood Primary and Secondary Latch Replacement .
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
