The frontview camera image display module receives a 12-volt signal from the body control module (BCM) indicating that the vehicle is in reverse gear. When this signal is detected the frontview camera image display module will provide a regulated 6-volt power source to the frontview camera. The inside rear view mirror (ISRVM) receives a 12-volt signal from the BCM indicating that the vehicle is in reverse gear. The front vision display will then be deployed from the ISRVM. The ISRVM receives video information directly from the frontview camera image display module providing a view to the front of the vehicle. If a problem exists with the front vision display not deploying or if a proper video signal is not detected, the front vision ON/OFF indicator located on the ISRVM will flash.

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the frontview camera. Also, extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. For normal operating characteristics of the front vision camera system, refer to the Navigation System section of the owners manual.

Electrical Information Reference

1. Inspect the frontview camera for any debris on the lens or a damaged bezel or bezel seal.

⇒	Clean any debris from the lens. If the lens, bezel, or bezel seal are damaged, replace as necessary.

2. Ignition ON, frontview camera switch is OFF, verify that the LCD is not deployed from the ISRVM.

⇒	If the LCD is deployed and an image is present, refer to Front Vision System Always On

⇒	If the LCD is deployed but there is no image, refer to LCD Always Deployed.

3. Ignition ON, frontview camera switch is ON, verify that the LCD is deployed and an image is present on the display.

⇒	If the LCD is deployed but there is no image present, refer to Front Vision System Does Not Display

⇒	If the LCD will not deploy, refer to LCD Will Not Deploy.

Front Vision System Always On

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the frontview camera switch.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the frontview camera switch control circuit terminal B and ground

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.

3. If all circuits test normal, replace the frontview camera switch.

LCD Always Deployed

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ISRVM.
2. Ignition ON, frontview camera switch OFF, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 9 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.

3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ISRVM.

Front Vision System Does Not Display

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the frontview camera.
