Rear Parking Aid Camera

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.

The rear parking aid camera is located on the tailgate.

On vehicles equipped with the rear only parking aid camera system, the rear camera communicates with the BCM through a LIN circuit. On vehicles with 2 camera systems or the rear only parking aid camera system, the rear parking aid camera must be configured using a diagnostic scan tool after replacement in order for all features to operate properly.

On vehicles with 2 cameras, the rear parking aid camera is analog and sends video signals to the IPMB through shielded, twisted pair circuits. The rear camera communicates with the IPMB through a LIN circuit.

On vehicles equipped with a 3 or more cameras, the rear camera is digital and sends video signals to the IPMB through a coaxial cable. The rear camera also communicates with the IPMB through the coaxial cable using LVDS.

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

If the vehicle is equipped with the 360 degree view camera system, the 360 degree view camera alignment must be performed after the tailgate or the rear camera is removed from the vehicle.
