Why can't the reversing camera be turned on?
2 Answers
The failure of the reversing camera to turn on may be caused by poor line contact or aging of the video power cable, and specific issues need to be inspected and repaired by a 4S shop. Below is relevant information about automotive reversing cameras: 1. Definition: 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. This system provides a more intuitive and clear view of the situation behind the vehicle when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety. 2. Applied technology: Professional vehicle-mounted probes have further improved anti-magnetic, anti-shock, waterproof, and dustproof performance. The vehicle-mounted display uses TFT true color, with anti-magnetic treatment to eliminate signal interference and flicker. It can simultaneously receive two videos and play VCD and DVD without a decoder. It also features automatic horizontal switching for reversing visuals and automatic on/off functionality.
It's quite common to encounter issues where the reversing camera doesn't work. This could be due to a faulty camera or it being covered by dirt, like mud on rainy days—try wiping it clean. Another possibility is problems with the connecting wires, such as loose connections or short circuits near the tailgate or rear bumper, especially in older cars that have endured prolonged vibrations. A blown fuse is also a frequent cause; simply open the fuse box under the driver’s seat and replace the corresponding one. System setting errors or software bugs might be the culprit too—try restarting the infotainment system or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes before reconnecting. Screen malfunctions are rare but worth noting. If all checks fail, it’s advisable to visit a professional repair shop. Always check the camera’s condition before parking to avoid accidental bumps.
