What are the causes of reversing camera failure?
2 Answers
The causes of reversing camera failure include camera damage, display screen damage, poor wire contact, etc. Camera damage: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be uploaded to the computer, and naturally it won't be displayed. If foreign objects block the camera, it will show a black screen. Display screen damage: When the display screen remains black and fails to start, or shows screen distortion, it generally indicates damage. In such cases, it is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for inspection and repair. Poor wire contact: If you frequently drive on rough roads, the bumpy environment may cause internal wires in the vehicle to loosen or detach. When the wires have poor contact, the camera's image cannot be transmitted to the main unit, and the reversing camera will not display.
I've had issues with the rearview camera several times while reversing, and there are several common causes. First, the camera itself might be faulty—it could be covered with too much dust or dirt, obstructing the view, or the camera might be broken and need replacement. Second, there could be wiring connection problems. The wires for the reversing system are prone to being pulled or aging at the rear of the car, and loose plugs or poor contact can cause signal interruptions. Third, the screen might display abnormally—if it's blurry or flickering, the built-in display might be malfunctioning. Fourth, there could be system software or setting errors; the system might occasionally crash or malfunction when the vehicle starts. Fifth, power-related factors, such as a blown fuse, especially during heavy rain when short circuits are more likely. It's recommended to first clean the camera and check the plugs. If the problem persists, take it to a professional repair shop—don't compromise driving safety. Wearing gloves when doing it yourself is quite practical!
