Thanks for the note about the tailgate! I had this issue today on my 2021 Silverado 1500 High Country just 2 days after buying it used with 13000 miles. The camera app wouldn't open and error symbol when in reverse. Also, when tailgate was open, lifting up slightly would not get it to auto close. Pushing the tailgate button would close it though.
I turned off the truck a few times, reset radio to factory defaults, and even erased user data, but still no camera app working. Interesting though was the rear view mirror camera was working the whole time.
Anyway, after reading this thread, I went out and slammed the tailgate closed nice and hard, and now it is all working as expected again! Cameras all showing up, and tailgate closes automatically when lifting slightly.
