What is the reason for the Honda URV reversing camera not displaying?
3 Answers
It is highly likely that the camera is damaged or the wiring of the reversing camera device is loose. If the image is blurry, it is most likely an issue with the camera itself. It is recommended to go to a repair shop to check if the wiring is loose. If the wiring is fine, simply replace it with a high-definition reversing camera probe. Introduction to Reversing Camera: The reversing camera, also known as the parking assist system, or reversing visual system, or onboard monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. Application of Reversing Camera: Nowadays, the reversing camera is no longer a feature exclusive to mid-to-high-end cars. Some small cars and microvans are also equipped with reversing camera systems.
As someone who frequently works with Honda models, I think there are quite a few reasons why the URV's reversing camera might not display. First, it could be an issue with the camera itself, such as a dirty lens or condensation obstructing the view—you can try gently cleaning it. Second, there might be a poor connection in the wiring; the connector in the trunk area could be loose or corroded. Third, a blown fuse could be the culprit—just locate and replace the corresponding one in the fuse box. Fourth, a system software glitch might be to blame, especially if updates aren’t installed promptly. Sometimes, the failure of the reversing radar and camera to sync properly can also cause this. I recommend first checking the lens and connectors yourself. If that doesn’t work, take it to a 4S shop for professional diagnostics—safety comes first, so don’t wait until an accident happens to act. I’ve seen fellow car owners delay fixing minor issues only to end up with major repairs and unnecessary expenses.
I've owned the URV for over two years and also experienced sudden black screen issues with the reversing camera – super annoying. Most likely it's a camera problem, either the lens is dirty and unclear or internal components are damaged. Wiring issues are also quite common, like loose connections or short circuits, possibly from water ingress after rain. Sometimes it's just the head unit freezing – restarting the vehicle or manually resetting the system usually fixes it. Oh, and check if any fuses are blown – they're in the box near the driver's seat. For DIY fixes: first clean the lens, then check connections, try restarting the car. If that doesn't work, get to a repair shop fast – don't penny-pinch. Last time I delayed and almost backed into a wall – learned that lesson the hard way.
