What is the reason for the unavailability of the camera parking system?
2 Answers
Reverse camera parking system is unavailable due to issues with the car's camera or power wiring. The following are specific explanations for the reasons why the reverse camera parking system is unavailable: 1. Camera issues: Internal wiring of the camera has malfunctioned. The power supply to the camera is loose or disconnected. 2. Power wiring issues: The wiring harness connector used by the reverse camera is made of rubber, which will age after a period of use. If the wiring harness shows signs of aging, it must be replaced promptly.
Last year, my new car's parking camera system frequently malfunctioned. I initially thought the system was broken, but later realized that most of the time the camera lens was obstructed by dirt—like mud splashes after rain or bird droppings—blocking the view entirely, which naturally triggered system alerts. Simply wiping it clean with a damp cloth or glass cleaner usually solves the problem, but avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent surface damage. Cold weather or condensation might also blur the image temporarily, but it clears up once dry. If cleaning doesn’t help, try restarting the car—turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and restart, as software glitches can occur. If that still doesn’t work, there might be a loose connection or damaged component requiring a shop visit. To minimize issues, avoid parking on dirty surfaces to reduce splatter and perform regular maintenance.
