Pinpoint Test J: The Rear Video Is Inoperative
Normal Operation
With the ignition switch in the RUN position, voltage is supplied to the rear video camera.
For vehicles without navigation, with the gear selector in REVERSE (R) position, a reverse voltage signal is sent to the auto-dimming interior mirror supplying power to the display in the mirror. The video camera signal is sent to the auto-dimming interior mirror. The video signal from the video camera displays an image on the LH side of the auto-dimming interior mirror.
For vehicles with navigation, with the gear selector in the REVERSE (R) position, a reverse signal is sent from the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) to the Audio Control Module (ACM) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) , enabling the system. The video signal from the video camera displays an image on the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Video camera
- Auto-dimming interior mirror (without navigation)
- FDIM (Front Display Interface Module) (with navigation)
