What to Do When the Reversing Trajectory Doesn't Move with the Steering Wheel?

The reversing trajectory on the backup camera not moving with the steering wheel may indicate an issue with the output signal from the host control unit, meaning there could be a fault in the CAN transceiver interface circuit. Here are the corresponding solutions: 1. The dynamic movement of reversing guidelines with the steering wheel is an inherent feature of the backup camera and does not require special settings. Check if your vehicle's backup camera originally supports the dynamic movement of reversing guidelines. If not, you may need to replace it with a new backup camera. Some vehicles' backup cameras support the dynamic guideline feature, but the firmware may be outdated. In this case, simply visit the manufacturer's service center to update the firmware. 2. Additionally, the signal for the reversing guidelines is provided by the steering angle sensor. If the backup camera consistently lacks the dynamic feature, check the ESP system for any fault codes to further diagnose the issue.

When the reversing guide lines don't move while I'm backing up, my first reaction is not to panic. This might just be a minor glitch, like the steering wheel position sensor losing its signal. I first try restarting the vehicle system by turning the key off and removing it for a few minutes before starting again—sometimes a simple software reboot fixes it. Then, I check the reversing camera settings menu to make sure the guide line function wasn't accidentally turned off. If that doesn't work, it could be a sensor malfunction or loose wiring connection. Last time my car had this issue, it was just dust in the wiring harness connector, and a quick cleanup solved it. But if several attempts don't resolve it, I immediately take it to a professional repair shop for diagnosis—never force it, as you might hit something while reversing. Safety is more important than saving money, so timely action is key.

When encountering the issue of the reversing trajectory not following the steering wheel, start with the basics: ensure the tires and steering wheel are functioning normally without any mechanical jamming. Restarting the infotainment or navigation system often resolves temporary software glitches. If this doesn't work, check if the assist function settings in the vehicle settings have been turned off; sometimes settings reset after a system update. If the problem persists, it might be due to dirt or aging of the steering wheel sensor module, which is more common in humid weather. It's recommended to gently clean the sensor area with a soft cloth, but avoid disassembling it to prevent damage. If all else fails, consult a professional technician for inspection to avoid increasing the risk of blind spots while reversing. Throughout the process, remain patient and avoid hasty operations.

I believe the issue of the reversing trajectory not moving is mostly internal to the system: either a sensor signal interruption or a software bug. The method to check is to first test the steering wheel feedback during normal driving. If the power steering is functioning normally, it's likely just a partial failure of the trajectory system. Restart the car's infotainment system and the engine once, similar to rebooting a computer, which is effective for temporary software errors. Before restoring factory settings in the settings, back up the data and then reset. If the problem persists repeatedly, it might be due to loose sensor wiring. You can simply check the connectors under the engine compartment and below the steering wheel for secure connections. However, be careful not to touch high-voltage wires—safety first. The final recommendation is to regularly maintain and check the sensors to prevent such issues.
