Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for this type of electrical part, the exact method of replacement depends on the specific design of the car and access to the part. With a used sensor, it is always important to carefully compare it with the old one and handle the connector and cabling carefully.
1) Before assembly
- Check if the part shape, connector, mounting and marking 105133044 B or 6445JW match the old sensor.
- Check the condition of the contacts, whether they are oxidized, bent or mechanically damaged.
- Check the sensor body for cracks or other damage.
- Disconnect the battery before starting work, if this is in accordance with normal service practice for the vehicle in question.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- regular set of hand tools
- screwdrivers or a plastic pry bar for removing covers
- cleaning agent for electrical contacts
- clean cloth
- work gloves and lighting of the work area
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a work area.
- Depending on the design of the car, remove the covers or parts of the trim that prevent access to the sensor.
- Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old part without pulling on the cables.
- Release the original sensor from the holder or mount in a manner consistent with its design.
- Compare the old and new part side by side, especially the connector, body shape and markings.
- If necessary, gently clean the connector and the surroundings of the storage from dirt.
- Place the used sensor in the correct position so that it sits without tension or force.
- Connect the connector and verify that the connection is tight and clicks properly.
- Reinstall all removed covers and trim.
- Restore power to the vehicle if it was disconnected.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check that the connector is tight and the wiring is not pinched.
- Verify that the system works without dropouts or fluctuations after installation.
- If possible with the car, observe the behavior of the related system during normal operation.
- After a short test drive or operational check, recheck the correct seating of the part.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Exchanging a part based on appearance – always compare the product numbers as well.
- Damage to the connector – disconnect the connector gently and without prying with an inappropriate tool.
- Insufficient seating of the sensor – after assembly, verify that the part is properly seated.
- Neglecting to check the contacts – oxidized or loose contacts can cause malfunction even after replacement.
- Pinch of wiring when refitting covers – check cable routing before assembly.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- normal wear and tear of material
- long-term temperature stress
- moisture, condensation or oxidation of contacts
- mechanical damage during disassembly or improper handling
- loose or dirty electrical connector
- vibration and stress of cabling in operation
