Removal
- Remove the ultrasonic sensor (refer to procedure).
- Cut approximately 12 in (300 mm) of square wire and insert the
wire into 1 handle of the wire cutting tool.
- Cut the adhesive tape that secures the arm of the carrier to the
door panel:
- Route the square wire between the carrier and the
door panel.
- Insert the wire into the other handle of the wire
cutting tool.
- Use the cutting tool to cut the adhesive tape that
secures the arm of the carrier to the door panel.
Caution: Ensure that the wire is
cutting through the adhesive tape, not the
carrier.
- Repeat the previous step on the other 2 arms of the carrier.
- Remove the carrier.
Installation
- Attach the 22 mm tip to the force gauge.
- Use a plastic scraper to clean the excess adhesive tape from the
3 mounting areas on the door panel.
- Attach the bristle disc to a drill. Use the bristle disc to
clean the 3 mounting areas on the door panel.
Caution: Only use a drill with the specified
bristle disc. Do not use a grinder to clean the
mounting areas.
Caution: Do not remove the e-coat from the
door panel.
- Use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature of the door
panel. If necessary, use the heat gun to heat the door panel to at
least 25 degrees C (77 degrees F).
Caution: Do not continue this procedure unless
the door panel is at least 25 degrees C (77 degrees
F).
- Use alcohol wipes to clean the 3 mounting areas on the door
panel. Ensure that the mounting areas are clean and dry before
continuing.
- Apply adhesion promotor to the 3 mounting areas on the door
panel. Allow the adhesion promotor to dry before continuing.
- Install the new carrier.
- Use the force gauge to apply a force of 70 N to the center of
the carrier for at least 10 seconds.
- Reinstall the components that were removed for access.

The ABS varies the braking pressure to each wheel
according to the amount of traction available. This
prevents wheels from locking and ensures that you stop
as safely as possible.
