I searched for this topic before posting so hopefully I'm not reposting.  Had my truck since end of August 2023.  Rearview camera mirror has worked perfectly until this issue started about a month ago.  Still works great during the day but horrible at night.  The less light the worse it gets.  Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Haven't seen / heard of that one before.

Hopefully your not over miles on the warranty. 

 

Does it work ok with camera mode off? 

Should function like an auto-dimming mirror when camera mode is off.

Yes, it works fine when not in camera mode.  I'm still under warranty.  I'm going to bring it in.

Let me know what answers you get… I’m going through something similar. But it has to do with glare/starburst like images at night, see photo.. I’m still under warranty and dealership is giving me a hard time.. I did a Reddit post all about this. Again, lmk

We have 2 vehicles with camera rear view mirror.

They both work, but we run them with the camera off.

Try cleaning the lens with window cleaner. Don't just wipe it off with a dry rag.

Lens isn't dirty. Dealer installed brand new camera that's by the third brake light housing after showing them the photos thinking it would solve the issue (and i hoped so too). But It didn't and now they're refusing to do anything further, saying since they installed a new camera this is how it should normally look.

 

I'm like, seriously guys?!? Like I bought the truck new, I KNOW what's its suppose to look like. Service it saying it normal. effin crazy. now i'm left trying to find used 2022s in my area and do a test drive at night and shoot photos for them.. absolute nonsense..

Man that’s disappointing.  It’s 4 components for that camera mirror.  The camera, a harness that goes from the camera to the inside of the cab.  Then another harness that runs alone the headliner.  And finally the mirror/screen.  If you get somewhere with the dealer, maybe push for a new mirror/screen replacement?

I hope the dealership replaces the unit for you. I generally don't drive with my camera rearview mirror on, I guess I'm scared for if it goes bad. But at the same time, I do find it awesome when on a multilane highway it basically cleans up the the blindspots around the truck. Ever since I tinted all my windows again, and in the rear back half from factory It's removed all the glare from interior lighting to the windows, so I just roll with that versus the camera rear on at night, or most of the time.

Can anyone post a pic of what theirs look like at night maybe at a stop light or something? something I can use to show the dealer

Have you played with the mirror camera 'brightness' and 'zoom' settings? 

 

Mine doesn't seem as bad as what's in your picture, but it definitely has some 'hallowing'. (if that's the term)

 

Hallowing severity depends on ambient light and of course the type and aim of the lights of the other vehicles.

In camera mode it the road behind appears more like in daylight (and of course this changes with brightness and zoom settings) 

 

I use it in mirror mode because mirror mode view is crystal clear and without hallowing. 

 

I would likely use it if the mirror view was blocked by things in the vehicle. 

 

 

This is our 3rd vehicle with camera rearview -- only have it because it's part of a package that had to be added to get other things I wanted. 

 

I do like the Auto-dimming feature. Camera mirror is auto dimming when camera is off.

Auto-dimming has spoiled me -- I'd prefer not to go back to a manual dimming.

As I write this I'm wondering if the auto-dimming in camera mode is not working on yours.

Presumably dealer service has a diagnostic procedure to test that function.

Mine works pretty good but in foggy conditions does odd things like shown above.  I still like it better than no camera as the normal mirror does not have great view with rear headrest.

I don't like the mirror camera, I only use it when bed cover is fully up blocking the window with a tall load.

I keep the rear headrests folded down when back seat is unoccupied.

Don’t have enough time to write a long post but long story short: I brought it to another dealership since it’s still under factory warranty (Greater Lowell GMC). They looked at it and it only took them 1 second to see something was wrong, service advisor literally said, “yeah that’s not right,” after seeing the image on my rear view mirror.  I was like “THANK YOU!!!” Finally someone believing me without me having to argue my case. Explained everything that happened at Tulley GMC and they said they’ll take care of it. 4 days later I got the call to pickup. they said they changed the camera in the third brake light and that resolved it. Back to normal. 
 

They explained, it only took them longer than usual bc I originally told them Tulley only changed the camera in the third brake light and refused to do anything else (saying the image on the mirror was normal). So Greater Lowell was left with figuring out what else was wrong, turns out after following a troubleshooting flowchart of camera issues and changing/testing everything else of the system, the only thing they didn’t change was the camera I told them Tulley had already did. Turns out that was the culprit. Camera in third brake light malfunctioned. Once they installed a new one, it was perfect image.

 

the kicker: they did a search of all the work done on my truck and did not see them (Tulley) replacing my camera. They said they found a work order with a camera install, but the part number was not for the camera in the third brake light. 
 

next step is to deal with the service dept at Tulley. 
 

Before and after pics below for reference for one else having the issue:

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
