Optical Sensor: Removal
- Open the liftgate.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Remove the left rear D-pillar trim panel from the vehicle. Refer to INTERIOR/EXTERIOR
for the procedure.
CAUTION:
Locate the wires coming from the optical sensor. On a piece of paper, note the wire location and cavity the wires are currently installed in on both the sensor and connector side of the harness. This will prove helpful later.
- Cut the wires leading to the optical sensor and back the wires out of the drive unit's main electrical connector. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION
for instructions.
