Camera, Rear: Operation

The Rear View Camera (RVC) receives power from a run relay control output circuit located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The imager built into the RVC is active when the transmission is shifted into the R  everse position or with the camera delay feature on. When the transmission is shifted into the R  everse position, the BCM sends a signal over the LIN bus to the RVC that excites the imager internal to the camera. The camera will then use hardwired video signal output circuits to provide the radio video display unit with compatible National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard composite video M format data, or NTSC-M. These camera output circuits run through the entire length of the vehicle and are arranged in tandem as a twisted pair. Portions of these video signal wires are contained within the body wire harness and a jumper harness located between the radio and the body harness connector below the instrument panel located at the right cowl side inner panel. Data signal protection from corruption and interference is provided by a grounded foil jacket shield which is terminated only at the video display (radio).
