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.
- Open the hood.
- Remove the bolts from the hood latch.
- Remove the hood latch from the hood latch support.
- Remove the hood latch release cable from the hood latch.
Installation Procedure
- Install the hood latch release cable to the hood latch.
- Install the hood latch to the hood latch support.
- Install the hood latch bolts.
- Adjust the hood as required. Refer to Hood Adjustment .
- Close the hood.
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 hood latch bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
