• Inspect the bumper fascia in the area in front of the ICC/distance sensor (see pages 2, 3, and 4).
• Check for stains and/or physical damage (for example, mud/dirt, road debris, dirty rain water, scrapes, punctures, misshapen surface).
• If there is physical damage but not severe, clean the area in front of the ICC/distance sensor, perform an ICC/distance sensor alignment using CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus), and then verify proper system operation.
• If an ICC/distance sensor alignment is not successful, inspect the ICC/distance sensor bracket for damage (see page 5).
