Installing the sensors and cable harness

Installing the sensors and cable harness

• Take the sensors and their cable harness from the kit.

• Install the two sensors in the sensor holders so that they are securely fitted. The outer sensors are installed from below after the bumper has been reinstalled on the car.

• Attach the cable harness' connectors to the inner sensors. Make sure that the detached sensors in the outer position have sufficient cable to be installed after the bumper cover is fitted into place. The cable harness' detached connector should now appear on the side of the bumper.

• Locate the cable harness along the edge inside the bumper cover, above the foam. Secure the cable harness with butyl tape. Use activator (P/N 8637076) as an underlying surface in order to increase adhesion.

• Reinstall the foam and the plastic in the bumper cover.

• Make sure that all catches fully engage.

Applies to the V70

• Paint the sensors and holders using the same colour code paint as the car. Use paint recommended by Volvo. Apply a maximum of two coats.

• When the paint has dried, remove the protective backing paper.

• Hold the bumper up against the car and connect the connector for the sensors to the connector clamped to the car.

• Reinstall the bumper by repeating the instructions in steps 2-5 in reverse order.

• Install the two outer sensors in the sensor holders and connect them to the routed cable harness (see illustration 34).

• Connect the routed cable to the available port on the parking assistance module (PAM).
