Pinpoint Test J: The Rear Video Is Inoperative


Normal Operation

When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the video camera receives voltage. For vehicles without navigation, with the gear selector in the REVERSE (R) position, a reverse voltage signal is sent to 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 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 left portion of the auto-dimming interior mirror (for vehicles without navigation) or displays an image on the ACM (Audio Control Module) (for vehicles with navigation).

- 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:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Video camera

- Auto-dimming interior mirror (without navigation)

- ACM (Audio Control Module) (With navigation)
