IPMB (Vehicles Equipped With 2 Or More Cameras)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Use caution when handling the coaxial cables. Damage may occur if the cable is bent at too sharp of an angle.

For vehicles equipped with a 2 or more cameras, all camera views are produced by the IPMB using input from one or more camera(s). The processed video signals are sent from the IPMB to the APIM on shielded, twisted pair circuits.

The IPMB receives the video signals from the front, rear, LH and RH parking aid cameras through coaxial cables, and from the CHMSL camera and trailer camera (if equipped) on shielded, twisted pair circuits. The IPMB determines which image(s) are sent to the APIM to be displayed on the FDIM.

In addition to generating the camera views, the IPMB serves as a gateway between all cameras (except the trailer camera) and other modules on the HS-CAN2. It communicates with the front, rear, LH, and RH cameras via coaxial cables and with the CHMSL camera via the LIN.

The IPMB requires PMI when replaced. Refer to: Module Configuration - System Operation and Component Description .

NOTE: When a new IPMB is installed, a camera alignment DTC is stored until the 360 degree camera alignment is successfully completed.
