Rearview Camera System Components
Before troubleshooting or servicing, the technicians must be familiar with the function and operation of the rear system.
When the battery is connected, check the all the vehicle accessories (radio, clock, electronic conveniences, etc.).
The rear system assists the driver during back-up driving by providing the driver with an image of the traffic situation behind the vehicle via the monitor of the radio or radio navigation system. The system is optional equipment.
The system switches itself on when the reverse gear is selected, even when the radio or radio/navigation system is switched off.
The rear view camera system consists of the following components:
- The pivoting emblem with the rear view camera -R189- and pivoting motor,
- Rear View Camera System Control Module -J772-,
- Radio/Navigation Display Control Module -J503-,
- and steering wheel with Steering Angle Sensor -G85-.
After performing service work on the vehicle, it may be necessary to calibrate the rear view camera system anew. In detail, this is the case after:
- removing and installing rear view camera
- replacing the rearview camera system control module
- after repair work performed on rear lid following an accident
- after an axle alignment
- after performing a repair at front or rear axle.
