Description And Operation: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Chrysler Voyager and 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RVC is powered by a switched ignition feed. The RVC has a path to ground at all times through a take out and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness secured to the body sheet metal. If the camera delay feature is enabled, the RVC will remain active for 10 seconds, up to about 13 km/h (8 mph) or until the touch screen display is pressed after the gear selector is shifted from (R ) to Neutral (N ) or Park (P ).

The output of the camera is a video signal compatible to the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard composite video M format, or NTSC-M. The video signal is delivered to the radio video display unit through the entire length of the vehicle by camera signal and the camera return circuits that are arranged as a twisted pair, with an additional grounded foil jacket to protect the video signal from corruption due to stray radiated signals within the vehicle environment. The ground shield is terminated only at the video display (radio) end, not at the camera. 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 at the right cowl side inner panel.

The RVC also communicates with the Body Control Module (BCM) via a Local Interface Network (LIN) connection.

NOTE:

The rear view camera on the 360 Surround View Camera System (sales code XAK) used in the Central Vision Processing Module (CVPM) communicates via a Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) coaxial cable.

The hardwired circuits between components related to the RVC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to WIRE SPLICING or REMOVAL or INSTALLATION .

However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RVC or the electronic controls and communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the RVC. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the RVC or the electronic controls and communication related to RVC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
