Why Doesn't the Reversing Camera Guideline Move with the Steering Wheel?
2 Answers
If the trajectory of the reversing camera does not move with the steering wheel, it may be due to an issue with the signal output from the host control unit, indicating a fault in the CAN transceiver interface circuit. Reversing Camera System: It displays real-time images from the vehicle's rear-view camera, providing the driver with a clear view of the environment behind the vehicle, facilitating parking and reversing. The reversing camera system mainly consists of a wide-angle camera installed at the rear, a control unit responsible for signal processing and transmission, and a display for viewing. Function: The reversing camera system is a safety aid for parking or reversing the vehicle. It informs the driver about surrounding obstacles through visual display, eliminating the hassle of checking around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle. It helps the driver overcome blind spots and unclear vision, enhancing driving safety.
I recently encountered the issue of non-moving reversing camera guidelines as well, which was particularly noticeable when driving my old car. At first, I thought maybe I didn't turn the steering wheel enough or the car wasn't at the right angle, but later realized it might be a sensor malfunction. When the guidelines don't follow the steering wheel movement during reversing, it becomes impossible to accurately predict the car's turning path, which is quite annoying—especially when parallel parking in tight spaces where it's easy to scrape adjacent cars or walls. Actually, these guidelines are supposed to dynamically display the vehicle's trajectory. If they're static, it could indicate a faulty steering angle sensor, loose connector, or outdated software. Some base models don't even have this feature and only show fixed lines. Safety should always come first, so I recommend checking the dashboard or settings menu after parking to see if there are any warning alerts. If not, take it to a repair shop to inspect the sensors. Remember, don't rely solely on the camera when reversing—always combine it with mirrors and your spatial awareness.
