System Operation
The video processing control module is connected to each camera via a shielded coaxial cable. The
coaxial cable provides power for the camera and also carries the video image from the cameras to the
video processing control module for processing. The video processing control module will then send the
processed image output to infotainment system via another coaxial cable.
The video processing module receives various vehicle information (such as steering wheel angle, object
detection, etc) from other sources such as parking assist modules and the Body Control Module via
serial data. This information is used to produce the enhanced surround vision system images that
include a warning triangle that may display if an object is detected nearby. This triangle changes from
amber to red and increases in size as the object gets closer to the vehicle. Also, dynamic guidelines are
displayed in Reverse to show the projected path of the vehicle based on steering wheel angle. Due to
this use of vehicle information, any faults or DTCs in these related systems can prohibit proper surround
vision operation.
If equipped, the video processing control module system may have a memory card receptacle (with
XVR) located in the trunk. The memory card receptacle interfaces with the video processing control
module via a USB cable. The memory card receptacle also receives fused battery voltage and ground
from the video processing control module. The video processing control module uses the memory card
as a mass storage device, similar to a USB storage device.
