UVC Rear Vision Camera System Inoperative (Inspect for Missing CPA Retainer and/or Properly Seated Connector/Connection at Camera)

Some customers may comment on a condition with the rear vision camera having a blank screen when shifting into reverse. You will also notice a disclaimer at the top of the screen but the rest of the screen is black.

A connector position assurance (CPA) retainer may be missing from the connector at the camera connector.

Examine the connection at the rear view camera wiring harness connector. Inspect for bent / backed out pins or a missing CPA retainer in the rear view camera connector. Repair or replace as necessary. Refer to Object Detection Connector End Views, Connector 9 Rearview Camera (UVC) in SI.

Inspect for a missing CPA retainer by performing the following steps:

1. Refer to Safety and Security - Object Detection - Rear Camera Replacement Liftgate or Endgate in SI.
2. Depending on the model of the vehicle, remove one of the following components:

•	Endgate Trim Panel

•	Rear Liftgate Applique




3. After the trim panel or liftgate applique is removed, locate the rear vision camera wire harness connector (1).



4. Inspect for a missing CPA retainer (1).



5. If the CPA is missing from the rear view camera connector, then replace the CPA with P/N 15317832 (1).



6. If the CPA retainer is in place, then inspect for bent / loose terminal retention or backed out pins in the rear vision camera connector (1). Repair as necessary.
7. If there was No Trouble Found (NTF) with the rear view camera connector, the following diagnostic information may be useful if the vehicle exhibits the symptoms described in this bulletin.

•	Inspect the connections at the rear view camera module that is located under the front passengers seat.
