Pinpoint Test H: The Rear Video Is Inoperative




Parking Aid - Video

Pinpoint Test H: The Rear Video Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

For vehicles without navigation, with the gear selector in REVERSE (R) position, a reverse voltage signal is sent to the auto-dimming interior mirror and the video camera supplying power to the system. 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 voltage signal is sent to the video camera supplying power to the camera. A reverse signal is also sent from the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) 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).

- DTC C1001:01 (Vision System Camera: General Electrical Failure)- a continuous DTC that sets in the ACM (Audio Control Module) when no video signal is detected for more than 3 seconds when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R).

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)

PINPOINT TEST H : THE REAR VIDEO IS INOPERATIVE

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
