Back-Up Camera/BLIS Issue

[MiataBro11]

Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone else was having an issue like this. I have read through some of the back-up cam threads and cant find any with my exact issue combination. Currently my back-up cam doesn't work at at all, nor does my blind spot monitor or cross traffic alerts. My back-up cam started becoming intermittent about a month ago, see the video below, and has since fully stopped working. I have pulled the C411 and C422 connectors and found no water intrusion or corrosion. I have a new back-up cam on order but the addition of the BLIS issue makes me think that it isn't just the camera. Any thoughts?

Without a scan and code to be sure, it’s most likely the camera itself - the tie in for all three is the camera displays - Cross Traffic which uses the SODL / SODR sensors, same sensors as Blind Spot, so both systems would be affected- Communication wise

FYI -Replacing the camera requires it to be programmed- New LIN Initialization or you will have issues with getting it to work properly.
This can be done with Forscan or Scanner

I will grab the codes after work today and post them up.

And I appreciate the heads-up on this. I have Forscan so shouldn't be an issue then.

my driver mirror and tail light have been replaced and the brain never set for the new ones so I get the same two warnings on start for a year now, they don't seem to effect anything so I have just gotten use to clicking OK on every start, I would sooner or later like to figure out how to get it right

Alright here is what we have:

First interesting thing is no communication to the SODR and SODL it seems.

Here are the relevant codes to this issue. The code in the PCM is for EGR flow because, 5G Ranger:

If I try to run a test on the SODL or SODR I just get an error.

Sorry for the wall of pictures, I just want to have all of the info out there.

Connector C408 located behind left rear quarter panel (in front of left rear tire) is common to the license plate light, bliss modules, and rear camera circuits. It is a 34 pin connector. Maybe there is a problem with that connector (corrosion, water?).

That seems to be the one right next to C422 on the frame, I can pull that one and check it also tomorrow.

Yes, C408 ties all fault codes together.
Power feed for the BLIS (Left/Right)
Rear Camera Power
License Plate Light Power

Power is from the DC/DC Convertor for this circuit, Fuse = (Fuse 23 in the BJB-Engine Bay), but no other related circuit codes noted, the highly suspect point is C408 for the power feed for the BLIS and Camera.

The License Plate Lights are on a separate circuit (power feed) but share that connector C408

The (U) & (C) Codes are for the Data Loss from those inputs

The only code that does not tie into that connector (C408) is for the High Mount Stop Lamp
B1115:15 - I would clear the other faults then check that out if still an issue.

Cool, appreciate the help! I will check the C408 connector after work today. The High Mount Stop Lamp code has been around from before. I have the OEM Ford brake controller which ties into the high mount stop lamp for its signal, which I assume is what is causing that code.

Referencing your diagram from one of the other back up cam threads @airline tech I am still slightly confused on the connector location. In the diagram it shows 3 connectors and they are positioned transverse relative to the truck, I can't find anything like that. I have assumed that C422 and C408/410 are these two on the inside of the frame rail. If that is correct neither of these connectors had any indication of water or debris intrusion or any corrosion. I checked fuse 23 in the BJB for good measure but it is fine.

There is a ground connection (G401) that is located behind the top of the arch for the left wheel well. Make sure that it is tight and clean.

Is this the one you are talking about? This is driver side front wheel well. It looks dirty from my undercoat but they are tight. I didn't see any ground on the driver side rear.

No, it is shown above the left rear wheel arch in the electrical diagram.
Another question, is the electrical connector for removing the tailgate securely connected?

Gotcha I will go look. Side note, where are you getting the electrical diagrams? I searched for some on google for the ranger and couldn't find one like you have there. And good idea on the tailgate connector, I haven't ever taken that off but I also haven't checked it. Will report back.
