INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Images may be unclear even in normal conditions if:
Noise may occur in the image depending on electrical devices used in the cabin.
Noise may occur in the image if accessories that generate radio waves have been installed.
The camera screen is frosted over (the image immediately after turning the engine switch on (IG) may be blurred or darker than normal).
The camera lens is dirty with snow, mud, etc.
A strong beam of light, such as a sunbeam or headlight, hits the camera.
It is too dark around the camera (at night etc.).
The ambient temperature around the camera is either too high or too low.
The vehicle is tilted at a steep angle.
The ambient light surrounding the camera is too bright. (When a strong light, such as a sunbeam reflected off the vehicle body, hits the camera, the image may be blurred. This is called the "SMEAR" phenomenon, particular to the CCD camera.)
When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, or mercury lights etc., the lights and the illuminated area may appear to flicker.
PROCEDURE
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTI-MEDIA MODULE RECEIVER - REAR TELEVISION CAMERA AND BODY GROUND)
Disconnect the F77 multi-media module receiver assembly connector.
Disconnect the S5 rear television camera assembly connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
CHECK MULTI-MEDIA MODULE RECEIVER DISPLAY (CA+, CGND)
Reconnect the multi-media module receiver assembly connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| *a | Component with harness connected (Multi-media Module Receiver Assembly) |
CHECK REAR TELEVISION CAMERA ASSEMBLY (CV+, CGND)
Reconnect the S5 rear television camera assembly connector.
| *a | Component with harness connected (Multi-media Module Receiver Assembly) |
*b | Waveform A |
| *c | Waveform B | *d | Synchronization Signal |
| *e | Video Waveform | - | - |
Check the waveform of the rear television camera assembly using an oscilloscope.
A waterproof connector is used for the rear television camera assembly. Therefore, inspect the waveform at the multi-media module receiver assembly with the connector connected.
The video waveform changes according to the image sent by the rear television camera assembly.
| Item | Content |
|---|---|
| Tester No. (Symbol) | F77-18 (V+) - F77-40 (CGND) |
| Tool Setting | 0.2 V/DIV., 50 μS/DIV |
| Condition | Waveform A: Engine starts, shift lever in R (camera lens is not covered, displaying an image) Waveform B: Engine starts, shift lever in R (camera lens is covered, blacking out the screen) |
| OK |
