What Causes the Reversing Camera Screen to Go Black?
2 Answers
The reasons for a black screen in the reversing camera: Either the video signal line of the reversing camera is not connected, or there is an issue with the reversing camera and its circuit. The reversing camera is part of the vehicle monitoring system, with the 360-degree panoramic reversing system being commonly used today. It ensures no blind spots when reversing and enhances the safety index of the vehicle during reverse maneuvers. The 360-degree panoramic reversing system displays videos captured by four cameras simultaneously on the screen, recording the situation from various angles. When problems arise with the reversing camera, such as a black or blue screen, timely repair or replacement is necessary to avoid affecting the normal use of the reversing system and posing safety risks during travel.
I've experienced the issue of a black screen with the reversing camera, which was quite annoying. There are several common causes: the camera lens might be blocked by mud or dust, and cleaning the lens often solves the problem. Loose or broken cables are also common, so check if the connections near the trunk are secure. If it's a system software glitch, restarting the car engine usually helps. If a fuse is blown, locate and replace the corresponding one in the fuse box for the reversing camera. Cold weather can also cause black screens, so ensure the system is kept warm. For prevention, regularly clean the lens and inspect the wiring, and avoid letting trunk items press on the cables. Safety first—don't rely solely on the camera when reversing; use the rearview mirrors and proceed slowly. If the problem persists, it's advisable to visit a professional repair shop.
