12. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
13. Test for 7 to 11 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ K157 Video Processing Control Module & Ground (component side) ⇒ If not between 7 and 11 V Replace the component: K157 Video Processing Module ⇓ If between 7 and 11 V
14. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off

Note

Before testing the coax cable, check the cable’s exterior for being pinched, cut, damaged, or having loose connections at the components, all of which can cause reception issues.

8. Disconnect the electrical connector: B174CR Front View Driver Information Camera - Right Curb
9. Locate the appropriate pinout adapter and load test loop adapter from EL-52552 COAX FAKRA Cable Adaptor Kit.
10. Connect the 2 adapters together, measure and record the resistance between the terminals at the pinout adapter.
11. Disconnect the 2 adapters and connect each one to the appropriate end of the coax cable.
12. At the pinout adapter test terminals, measure the total resistance of the coax cable loop including the connected load test adapter. ⇒ If not within 5 Ω of the reading from step 10. Replace the coax cable ⇓ If within 5 Ω of the reading from step 10.
13. Replace the component: B174CR Front View Driver Information Camera - Right Curb
14. Apply the parking brake.
15. Engine Running Transmission in Reverse
16. Verify the DTC does not set. ⇒ If the DTC is set Replace the component: K157 Video Processing Module ⇓ If the DTC is not set
17. All OK. Circuit/System Testing DTC B1AB8 54, 76

Caution

Refer to Test Probe Caution

Note

Before testing the coax cable, check the cable’s exterior for being pinched, cut, damaged, or having loose connections at the components, all of which can cause reception issues. To prevent an incorrect reading when testing the center coax terminal, use care not to ground the test probe on the outer housing/shield. Coax Cable Test

1. Test for less than 5 Ω between the test points: Coax Cable Center & The other end of the circuit ⇒ If 5 Ω or greater Test or replace the component: Coax Cable ⇓ If less than 5 Ω
2. Test for greater than 5 Ω between the test points: Coax Cable Outer Shield & The other end of the circuit ⇒ If 5 Ω or greater Test or replace the component: Coax Cable ⇓ If less than 5 Ω
3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Coax Cable Outer Shield & Coax Cable Center ⇒ If less than infinite resistance Test or replace the component: Coax Cable ⇓ If infinite resistance
4. All OK. Repair Instructions Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair: Diagnostic Repair Verification Rearview Driver Information Camera Replacement For control module replacement, programming, and setup refer to: Control Module References
