360 Camera Help

[origiNOLE]

Greetings,

I recently had bumpers installed. I have the tire carrier as well and this required a longer mini coax cable for the backup camera.
After the install, all the cameras were working properly. They worked for the rest of the day and the next morning. Then they all stopped working. It worked for a split second afterwards and then stopped and hasn’t worked since.

1. Would the extended mini coax cable (via LOD Off-road) for the rear camera cause the cameras to stop working?
2. Could a low battery charge (parasitic draw) cause them to stop working? Installer charged battery to ensure it wasn’t an issue.
3. Could a mis-aligned camera cause them to stop working?

Installer retraced his steps on the wiring.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could have a bad cable or have exceeded the bend radius as it is fiber optic. Have you tried changing the camera views to see if it is one camera or all of them?

Anytime you disconnect any of the cameras, you should do the 360 degree camera alignment. I've seen some vehicles be fine without it and then others that have problems. I always recommend just doing it to be on the safe side. Also if you send me your VIN in a message I can pull it up on PTS and see if there's a specific DTC.

Thank you. I sent to installer. Will see what he says.

How do you do the alignment procedure? If it's dependent on parking lot lines, I'm stuck, since Alaska is frozen right now.

It depends on the year. Usually before 2021 you need a special mat that Ford

if it has the 360 camera it has to be done with FDRS or possibly with forscan. I've only ever used FDRS. It requires the vehicle to be driven over 45mph until the cameras are aligned. If it doesn't have 360 camera, its just a LIN initialization again through FDRS and possibly FORSCAN. I don't know all the functionality of Forscan as I am a tech for Ford and the only thing I've used Forscan for was to stop A/S/S.

Would it be linked to the IPMA Lane Departure Warning System Camera Calibration? If so FORScan has that but have not tried it
