- Product Codes: 9677782977, 9677782980, 6590JE
- Other Numbers: HZE (Color Code TRAMONTANE)
Function
The sensor is an ultrasonic parking aid element that detects obstacles near the vehicle bumper and sends distance information to the PDC control module. It helps the driver when maneuvering at low speeds by triggering audible alerts or dash indicators.
Replacement Procedure
Designed for straightforward replacement by experienced technicians. Typical replacement steps:
- Prepare Tools: Trim removal tools, screwdriver set, multimeter for basic electrical checks, protective gloves.
- Safety First: Disconnect the battery before starting work to prevent short circuits and protect vehicle electronics.
- Access Sensor: Remove the rear bumper trim or access panel to reach the sensor from behind the bumper. On some models the sensor can be removed through inner wheel arch liners or luggage compartment trims.
- Disconnect Connector: Release the electrical connector and remove the sensor retaining clip or housing.
- Fit New Sensor: Insert the new sensor ensuring correct orientation and secure locking. Replace the sealing rubber if available and required for watertight fitment.
- Electrical Check: Reconnect battery and test the sensor operation before full reassembly. Verify PDC warning tones and dashboard indicators are functioning.
- Final Assembly: Refit trims and bumper panels after successful functional test.
Installation Recommendations
- Ensure The Sensor Sits Flush: Proper seating in the bumper cutout prevents false readings. Use the correct retaining clips and, if provided, the sealing ring to avoid water ingress.
- Test Before Reassembly: Always test functionality with the bumper temporarily secured to avoid repeated removal.
- Protect Connectors: Clean mating surfaces and apply dielectric grease if necessary to prevent corrosion on electrical contacts.
- Use Correct Color Code: Match The Color Code HZE (Tramontane) for painted bumpers to avoid visible mismatch.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Water Ingress: Damaged or missing sealing ring allows moisture to enter the sensor housing and corrode internal components.
- Impact Damage: Bumper collisions or knocks can physically damage the sensor element or its mounting.
- Connector And Wiring Issues: Corroded connectors, pin damage or wiring faults cause intermittent operation or total failure.
- Dirt And Contamination: Heavy buildup of mud, ice or road debris on the sensor face leads to incorrect or no detection.
- Ageing Electronics: Over time, the ultrasonic transducer or internal electronics may degrade, especially in vehicles used in harsh environments.
Notes For Professionals
When replacing sensors, always verify part numbers and color codes to ensure correct fit and finish. Some vehicle systems may require a quick functional check with diagnostic tools to confirm proper integration with the PDC control unit. For a lasting repair, replace damaged seals and inspect wiring harnesses for hidden damage after an impact.
