Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
SVM System
- SVM Video Output
The SVM ECU displays the images from four installed cameras after passing the distortion correction and image synthesis steps and then displays the steering assist guidelines in analog format.
- SVM Switch
The signals are input for control in forward display mode when the switch is ON.
- Ignition Input
The SVM ECU displays video only on IGN2 ON and limits video output to SVM OFF when IGN2 is OFF.
In order to check whether the IGN2 is ON, the SVM ECU uses the signals to the IGN pin or it uses the M-CAN messages routed to the C-CAN from the IGPM (Gateway).
- Switch Indicator Output
The SVM ECU outputs the power of the LED on the SVM switch in PWM waveform to notify the driver whether or not the SVM switch is pressed.
- Chassis CAN Input (C-CAN)
The SVM ECU receives the vehicle status data through the C-CAN and determines whether or not to perform key operations of the SVM.
- Multimedia CAN Input/Output
The related information is processed after receiving M-CAN signals routed from the ICU to the C-CAN.
The routed M-CAN signals are exchanged for data transmission and reception as follows:

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
