Rear Camera - Operation

OPERATION

The Rear View Camera (RVC) is always powered by a 12 volt ignition switched battery feed from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the transaxle is shifted into the REVERSE position the radio receives a messages from the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to overrides any other display to show the RVC video output.

The output of the camera is a video signal compatible to the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard composite video M format, or NTSC-M. The video signal is delivered to the radio video display unit through the entire length of the vehicle by camera signal and the camera return circuits that are arranged as a twisted pair, with an additional grounded foil jacket to protect the video signal from corruption due to stray radiated signals within the vehicle environment. The ground shield is terminated only at the video display (radio) end, not at the camera. Portions of these video signal wires are contained within the liftgate lightbar wire harness, the liftgate wire harness, the body wire harness and a jumper harness located between the radio and the body harness connector below the instrument panel at the right cowl side inner panel.
