IPMB (Vehicles With 180 Degree View Camera)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For vehicles equipped with a 180 degree view camera system, 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 and rear parking aid cameras through shielded, twisted pair circuits and determines which image(s) are sent to the APIM to be displayed on the audio system display. In addition to generating the camera views, the IPMB serves as a gateway between the front and rear parking aid cameras and other modules on the network. It communicates with the front and rear cameras via the LIN and stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for the cameras and the LIN in the event of a concern.

The IPMB requires PMI when replaced. Refer to: Module Programming .

The IPMB settings and configuration have no influence over the video signal from the parking aid cameras. The parking aid cameras provide a video signal any time they receive voltage and ground.
