Rear View Camera Circuit Low
This code indicates a low voltage condition in the rear view camera circuit.
Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.
What it means (plain English)
The rear view camera isn't getting enough power; this can happen due to bad wiring or a failing camera.
What the computer is actually seeing
The computer monitors the camera circuit for proper voltage levels, typically expecting between 9 to 16 volts. When the voltage drops below 9 volts, it triggers this code.
What a healthy reading looks like
Expected voltage at the rear view camera circuit should be between 9V and 16V with the engine running.
Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way
Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.
- 11. Visually inspect the wiring and connectors for the rear view camera. Look for any signs of damage or corrosion. Decision: If damaged, repair or replace as needed. If not, proceed to step 2.
- 22. Check the fuse related to the rear view camera circuit. Replace if blown. Decision: If fuse is good, proceed to step 3. If blown, replace the fuse and clear the code.
- 33. Measure the voltage at the rear view camera connector with the engine running. Expected value is 9 to 16 volts. Decision: If voltage is in range, test and possibly replace the rear view camera. If out of range, troubleshoot wiring from the camera back to the control module.
Common causes
- Damaged wiring or connectors in the camera circuit
- Faulty rear view camera
- Blown fuse supplying power to the camera
