Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions could cause component performance issues: Rearview Camera
- Ambient Light Intensity - High/Low
- Camera Blocked - Debris/Ice/Mud/Snow
- Temperature - High/Low
An open in the shield of the video signal circuit can cause a distorted screen.
If the Video Processing Control Module cannot calibrate all cameras, the rear vision image may be displayed without projected path lines.
An open in the backup lamp control circuit, defective backup lamps, or incorrect/aftermarket backup lamps can cause erratic circuit behavior such as unwanted voltage on circuit when vehicle is no longer in REVERSE. The rear vision image display remaining active after the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE can also be an indication of backup lamp control circuit issues.
Starting the vehicle and immediately placing the shifter in Reverse can also cause the Rear Vision Camera guidelines to not be present during that Reverse cycle due to the system not being given enough time to fully initialize. If safely coming to a stop, placing the transmission in Park for a moment, and then shifting to Reverse again restores the Rear Vision Camera guidelines, this scenario is normal and no repair attempts should be made.
