Pinpoint Test E: 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 transmission selector in REVERSE (R), a reverse signal message from the Body Control Module (BCM) is sent over a dedicated Local Interconnect Network (LIN) to the auto-dimming interior mirror, enabling the system. For vehicles with navigation, with the transmission selector in REVERSE (R), the BCM sends a reverse signal message 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 Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) for vehicles with navigation.

- DTC B115E:08 (Camera Module: Bus Signal/Message Failure) - an on-demand DTC that sets in the BCM when there is a LIN communication fault from the video camera.
- DTC C1001:01 (Vision System Camera: General Electrical Failure) - a continuous DTC that sets in the ACM when no video signal is detected from the video camera when the vehicle is in reverse.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Video camera
- Auto-dimming interior mirror (without navigation)
- ACM (with navigation)
- BCM
