Intermittent 360 Camera Failure

[Ruralmoondog1]

Ever since I took delivery of my truck on July 12th I have had four separate 360 camera failure events.
Each time the camera opens, displays and then immediately flips to black. After ten seconds it says something to the extent of, "Service camera system, please call dealer."
First failure was July 14th fresh after bed liner and the dealer thought it was related to that due to possibly hearing a plug click.
Second failure was August 17th, couldn't bring it in with the issue. Took it in Monday and the dealer didn't touch the truck Monday-Fri. I took it Friday night due to needing to move stuff on Saturday. Ultimately opted to keep the truck due to the dealer admitting they did not know what to do.
Third failure was September 16th. Was able to bring the truck in exhibiting the failure. Dealer was able to run a diagnosis with engineering on the truck and determined that the main wiring harness had a coax cable that was shorting out. Due to that they replaced the entire interior wiring harness.
Fourth failure was October 21st. Same codes and same symptoms. Out of the blue, camera failure. Dealer came back and said that engineering did not have enough data to proceed until it happens again. I pushed back and after the weekend they told me that they think it is a bad IPMA but that engineering believes it is a bad APIM. At this point engineering opened a buyback case and I am still waiting for the APIM to arrive.

Anyone else have a similar issue?

The issue most likely is not the IPMa and is the Coax cable from the IPMA to the APIM. The coax output has a short cable that mates in the driver kick and then a single coax runs to the APIM in the center dash. It is not apart of the interior harness.. it is apart of the Dash harness. I have seen scenarios of the apim connection being extremely tight. Causing this exact issue,

THis issue is pretty easy to diag because this can only be The APIM, The coax to the APIM or the IPMA> My bet would be the coax to the APIM. You can buy that coax for maybe $15.

The Service camera system sets a c1001 DTC in the APIM. If you were having an issue where the cameras were displaying a blue screen that would be a bit different story but htis one like I said my money is on the dash Coax

This information is gold. Is that cable just shorting out? How can I get the truck to display the same issue repeatedly if possible? Truck did display a C1001:01 in the APIM and U0264 in the IPMa.

Not really a way to make it happen every time unless you can access the APIM. THe APIM is behind the screen.

THe cable part number is

ML3Z10E929FBA

Its like 10$

If you wanted to replace the cable yourself its not that big a deal.. I can get you the workshop manual for accessing the APIM..

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d appreciate that. Dealer is going to have the APIM replaced on Monday

Oh.. Have them check the brown connection at the APIM. I bet its probably extremely tight. I REALLY doubt the apim is bad.. and I would not want the APIM replaced.
