Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and materials: a multimeter, cleaning supplies (microfiber cloth, water, and mild soap), and possibly a socket set.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, and the ignition is turned off.
2. Clean the Camera Lens
  • Use a microfiber cloth dampened with a mild soap solution to gently clean the camera lens.
  • Dry the lens with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to ensure there are no streaks or moisture.
3. Inspect Wiring and Connectors
  • Open the rear hatch and locate the reversing camera wiring harness.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the camera, ensuring no damage occurs to the connector.
  • Inspect the connector pins for corrosion or damage. Clean any corrosion with a contact cleaner.
  • Reconnect the wiring harness securely.
4. Test Camera Voltage
  • With the multimeter, set it to measure DC voltage.
  • Have an assistant shift the vehicle into reverse.
  • Probe the camera connector's power wires to check for voltage (typically around 12V) while in reverse.
  • If no voltage is present, trace the wiring back to the infotainment system for further inspection.
5. Replace the Camera (if necessary)
  • If the camera has failed, remove it by unscrewing the mounting screws.
  • Disconnect the camera wiring harness.
  • Install the new camera by connecting the wiring harness and securing it with screws.
  • Reassemble any panels or covers removed during the process.
