What are the reasons for the Hongqi HS5 reversing camera not displaying?
3 Answers
Here are the reasons related to the camera, display screen, and wiring connections for the Hongqi HS5 reversing camera not displaying. Damaged or obstructed camera: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be uploaded to the computer, resulting in no display. In this case, it is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for maintenance, and a new camera may need to be replaced if necessary. Damaged display screen: When the display screen remains black and fails to start or shows distorted images, it indicates damage. This situation requires inspection and repair at a repair shop or 4S store. Poor wiring connection: Frequently driving on rough roads may cause internal wiring to loosen or detach due to the bumpy environment. When the wiring connection is poor, the image captured by the camera cannot be transmitted to the main unit, and the reversing camera will not display. In this case, the center console panel needs to be removed for inspection.
When driving the Hongqi HS5, I encountered a situation where the reversing camera didn't display anything. During reversing, the screen went completely black, which was quite frightening as I almost hit a pillar behind me. The possible reasons could be: the camera lens being obscured by mud or rainwater - cleaning it usually restores functionality; or the camera itself might be damaged, perhaps due to minor impacts while parking causing internal wiring issues; loose wiring connections are also common, especially the cable near the trunk area which can disconnect after prolonged vibration; a completely black screen might indicate display problems, though this usually affects the entire system; blown fuses are frequent occurrences - just open the engine compartment fuse box to check and replace the relevant fuse; occasional system glitches can be resolved by holding down the infotainment system's power button to reboot. If self-troubleshooting doesn't work, visit a 4S store immediately. Don't delay - professional diagnosis is faster, and safety comes first. You'll feel much more at ease after proper repairs.
Regarding the issue of the Hongqi HS5's reversing camera not displaying, let me share some practical suggestions. Start with simple troubleshooting: ensure the rear camera isn't blocked by dirt, gently wipe it clean with a soft cloth; listen for the radar alarm sound when reversing—if there's no sound, the reversing switch might be faulty; then check the fuse, locate the reversing camera-related fuse in the instrument panel's fuse box, and replace it if blown; inspect the wiring connections—the camera's connector at the tailgate is prone to loosening or oxidation—press it firmly to ensure stability; if the system freezes, reboot it by holding the power button for 10 seconds and try again; if the image is blurry or intermittent, the video cable might be damaged or interfered with. Avoid disassembling it yourself—those with strong DIY skills can handle it, otherwise, visit a repair shop for diagnosis with professional equipment. Regularly clean the lens during maintenance to prevent dust buildup and avoid similar issues.
