Rearview Camera Image Does Not Change When Selecting Different Views (2015-18)

NOTE: 

  1. Problem verification

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then shift the transmission to R position/mode.

    If needed, start the engine, then apply the parking brake, and shift the transmission to R position.

    - 2. Press the ENTER button to see if the rearview image changes between the wide view, the normal view, and the top down view in this order.

    Does the rearview camera image change properly?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

    NO 

    The failure is duplicated, go to step 2.

  2. Shorted wire check (CAMERA BIT0 line, CAMERA BIT1 line)

    - 1. Shift the transmission to P position/mode.

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P)
    Rearview camera 12P connector

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P): disconnected
      Rearview camera 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P) No. 5 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Undefined) (2018), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P) No. 18 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Undefined) (2018), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to body ground in the wire (s) between the rearview camera and the audio-navigation unit.

    NO 

    The CAMERA BIT0 and the CAMERA BIT1 wires are not shorted to ground. Go to step 3.

  3. Shorted wire check (CAMERA BIT0 line to CAMERA BIT1 line)

    - 1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P): disconnected
      Rearview camera 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P) No. 5 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Undefined) (2018), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)
    Test point 2 Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P) No. 18 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Undefined) (2018), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the wires between the rearview camera and the audio-navigation unit.

    NO 

    The CAMERA BIT0 and the CAMERA BIT1 wires are not shorted. Go to step 4.

  4. Open wire check (CAMERA BIT0 line, CAMERA BIT1 line)

    - 1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P): disconnected
      Rearview camera 12P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Audio-navigation unit connector G (24P) No. 5 - Refer to: Audio-Navigation Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Undefined) (2018), or Audio-Navigation Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2019)
