What is the reason for the navigation system showing no signal when shifting into reverse gear?

The reason for the navigation system showing no signal when shifting into reverse gear is that the data cable connected to the reverse camera has come loose or has poor contact. The reverse camera may be damaged. There could also be a fault with the gear position sensor. Below is relevant information: 1. Reverse camera: Also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system. This system provides a more intuitive view of the rear when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety. 2. When shifting into reverse gear: The system automatically activates the high-definition reverse camera located at the rear of the vehicle, clearly displaying the rear view on the LCD screen, allowing for accurate assessment of the road conditions behind the vehicle.
This is an issue I often encountered when repairing cars. The navigation shows no signal when shifting into reverse gear, which is most likely due to a problem with the signal wiring of the rearview camera. The sudden power fluctuation during gear shifting can easily cause poor contact or signal short circuits in the wiring. If the camera lens is obstructed by dust, mud, rain, or fog, it can also lead to signal loss. Software issues might also be the culprit, such as the navigation system malfunctioning during gear shifts, which may require a software update or system reset. Another common issue is a blown fuse, especially the one dedicated to the signal circuit in the reverse gear system—don’t overlook this during inspection. I recommend first cleaning the camera lens. If that doesn’t work, then check the wiring and the fuse box. Addressing this early can prevent accidents while reversing, as not being able to see behind you is quite dangerous.
