Rear View Camera Flicker

Does anyone else's rear view Camera flicker when reversing?

 

Mine give me a flicker/squiggly screen once or twice for a split second when backing up.

 

It doesn't do it all the time.

 

Happens more often if I start the truck and start backing right away. Almost like I didn't give it time to fully boot up?

 

Anyone else notice this?

Yes........probably normal.

 

My Avalanche would always do that if I threw it into reverse immediately (within 1-2 secs) of starting the vehicle........also delayed appearance of the grid lines for a second. If I waited 3 or more seconds, no flicker and grid lines. Might have to do with all the accessories signing on to the CPU during the boot cycle, or voltage fluctuation caused by the reverse lamp drain during the process or something else. Never tried it in the Silverado because now I wait the few seconds.

Thanks.

 

I guess it normal. Really don't see it if wait or when I've been driving. I'll give it more time.

Tried it in the Silverado....it flickers and statics the same way if you shift into reverse before the dashlight/gauge test on startup .....wait 3 sec. and no flicker......didn't bother me in the Avys....doesn't bother me now.

Never noticed this in a 2013 Infinity G37 sedan - no matter how fast the reverse is engaged. It must be something specific to theseGM trucks.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
