Causes

  • Open or short in the video coax/harness for Video Input E
  • Corroded or loose connector at the camera, junction connector, or module
  • Failed camera or video source (poor/absent video output)
  • Faulty infotainment/telematics module input or internal electronics
  • Power supply fault to the camera (blown fuse, switched feed issue)
  • Damaged shield or improper termination causing signal degradation

Symptoms

  • No image or black screen for the affected camera/input on the infotainment display
  • Intermittent or distorted/frozen video image
  • Warning message or camera fault alert on the display
  • Reverse/parking camera not available (if that input is used for reverse)
  • Audio/video menus may report 'camera unavailable' or similar
  • Possible other related module errors if communication is affected

What to check

  • Retrieve all stored and pending DTCs with a diagnostic scan tool; note freeze frame/live data
  • Visually inspect camera, connectors, harness and routing for damage, corrosion, or water ingress
  • Check related fuses, relays and power supplies to the camera and module
  • Wiggle-test harness while viewing live video/scan data for intermittent connections
  • Measure supply voltage and ground at the camera connector with key ON/engine as required
  • Verify continuity and resistance of the video cable and shield back to the module

Signal parameters

  • Video signal type: may be analogue composite (~0.5–1.0 Vp-p) or digital (LVDS) depending on model — confirm vehicle specification
  • Analogue composite typical amplitude: ~1.0 Vp-p into 75 Ω; expect ~75 Ω characteristic impedance
  • Power feed (camera): typically switched 12 V supply; measure battery voltage (~11–14 V) with key on
  • Ground continuity: low resistance (
  • Connector shield continuity between camera and module (coax shield continuity and low resistance)
  • If digital (LVDS): check for correct differential pair voltages and CAN/comms lines for module wake

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Read and record DTCs and related modules/codes. Note any U-codes (communication) that may affect diagnosis.
  2. Visually inspect camera, connector, pins, and harness for damage or corrosion. Repair or replace damaged connectors/wiring.
  3. Verify camera power and ground at the camera connector with a multimeter. Repair power/ground faults (fuse, relay, wiring) as required.
  4. Check continuity of the video coax/shield from camera to module. Replace cable if open or shield compromised.
  5. If analogue video suspected: use an oscilloscope or video tester to confirm presence and quality of composite video signal at the camera and at the module input while camera is operating.
  6. If digital video (LVDS): check differential signal integrity with appropriate scope or substitute a known-good camera/module where possible; confirm module communications and wake signals.
  7. Substitute/swap the camera with a known-good unit (or bench test the camera) to verify camera failure before replacing the vehicle module.
  8. Inspect and repair any damaged harness sections; ensure proper coax termination and grounding.
  9. After repairs, clear codes, cycle power, and retest system operation under conditions that previously produced the fault.
  10. If wiring and camera check good but fault persists, consider module reprogramming or replacement per manufacturer procedure.

Likely causes

  • Damaged or disconnected coax/video cable between camera and module
  • Bad connector pins / corrosion / bent pins at camera or module
  • Failed camera module (no video output or intermittent output)
  • Short to ground or short to battery on video feed or power wire
  • Faulty infotainment/video input circuit in the vehicle module
  • Poor ground or missing camera power feed

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Control module detected a fault on Video Input E — invalid/no video signal, open/short in circuit, or related camera/module issue.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.0 - 2.5 hours
