Hey new to this forum. I'm having the same issue. I own a 2016 Silverado. I did however swap all rear bulbs to LED. Hyperflash started right away but rear vision service happens about a week later. I went the online resistor route  to no avail. So I bought new gm taillight wiring and replaced the now spliced mess back to stock and reinstalled the factory bulbs. Hyperflash is obviously now fixed but I still have the service rear vision system message.  When going into reverse the wheel grid pops up then goes away to the message. I dont see any reset buttons and I have checked every damn fuse. Really dont want to spend thousands to replace the system. Hoping anyone can help me thru this mess.

... and it seems the 2019's are not immune to this either.   I've got a whopping 150 miles on it - does it randomly.  Dealer says they need to see it while it does it.

They'd be glad to keep it a week if needed to experience it.

Anyone know what exactly the fix is besides bringing it to the dealer? Dealer says they can't do anything more after replacing the module, wiring, and rear camera. I'd rather have an aftermarket system that actually works and is easy to replace than this thing which gives me the same blinding blue screen that I can't turn off at night. Truck is a 2017 SLE.

There is a module right above the spare tire on the driver side where your rear camera plugs into. Check the connection for dirt, debris, corrosion and broken wires. I had that message, found two wires broke off they were just brittle. This is the best example I could find to where this module is located.

2016, 6 cyl, crew cabin - when I shift to Reverse my display just stays fuzzy and displays "Service Rear Vision System". I am thinking that the rear camera itself got bad because of high humidity, I live in Daytona Beach. I plan to remove it and inspect it. A while ago, I tried to disconnect it to take the gate out and the connector is stuck! I have to try harder!  If it persists, I will look for new cam on Ebay and replace it. DIY style, fixing the problem by the process of elimination, lol. Any advice?

Welcome to the site.

 

Not following what you are saying as far as removing the camera. Did you take the access panel in the tail gate off to get to the camera?

Hello Binny,

 

I'm glad to hear your concern was resolved. If you have any future questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me via private message. Have a great week!

 

Thank you,

This is NOT something that resolves itself.  As noted in bulletin PIC6220:  It pretty much says GM is looking into the issue and there is nothing they can do about it.  I had the dealer replace my camera and cable almost year ago, and it worked fine until i was plowing week ago and putting it into reverse a lot this message came back, and the picture quality is not the best as it was.  Now its fine.  It is something GM should have addressed by now and offered a fix at no charge.

 

Any insight?

    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
    • Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving. 
    • 1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
