I would really appreciate some help please. My Prius reversing camera has gone black,with one lot of green lines on it. I have cleaned the lense. Because this car is Japanese import,the writing on the screen is in japanese!!! Please help Kind Regards Bob
this is most likely going to need a trip to the dealer. how did you clean the lens? you can go to umm vehicle signal check screen and make sure rev is on and off when you put it in reverse also you can make sure that the reverse lights are working and also verify that the gauge fuse is ok the repair manual is not much help unless you have access to an oscilloscope then you can nail it down to either the multi display, rear view harness or rear view camera Notes for the rear view monitor. (1) The rear view monitor may not function properly if subjected to a severe impact by any hard object. (2) Do not "scrub" the lens of the camera because it is made of resin. Scrubbing it may scratch the cover and affect the image. Prevent organic solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents, or glass coating from adhering to the cover. If anything adheres to the cover, clean it off immediately and wash the lens with water. (3) Exposing the camera to a sudden temperature change may affect proper functioning of the camera. (4) A clear image may not appear if the camera is dirty with snow, mud, etc. In that case, wash it with water and wipe off the lens. Use a detergent to remove dirt if necessary.
Thank you for your reply,the display screen looks like an osillascope, We have taken it to the dealer,who says it the camera. They have given us a quote of $860 nz!!!! I just wanted to know if any other camera would do the same job.(a cheaper one) regards BOB
Do not buy such crap things! I don't know why all people talk about that camera, it looks like a gipsy work. Buy an original one from a Prius salvage, I've found it even with 150USD for my car.. a real bargain!:rockon:
