Description And Operation: Operation

The Rear View Camera (RVC) is powered by an ignition feed received through the backup lamp switch output circuit from the Body Control Module (BCM), so that the camera is only active when the transmission is shifted into the Reverse (R  ) position. The RVC has a path to ground at all times through a take out and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness secured to the body sheet metal. If the camera delay feature is enabled, the RVC will remain active for 10 seconds, up to about 13 km/h (8 mph) or until the touchscreen display is pressed after the gear selector is shifted from (R  ) to Neutral (N  ) or Drive (D  ).

The hardwired circuits between components related to the RVC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE . and. Refer to REMOVAL . Refer to INSTALLATION .

However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RVC, electronic controls, and communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the RVC. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the RVC, electronic controls, and communication related to RVC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
