2019 yukon back up camera stays on in drive

[schneld]

HI Folks
Today for no reason my back up camera on a 2019 GMC Yukon decided to stay on and will not turn off. I tired putting car into park, turning on/off vehicle wiggling the shifter. Still stays with back up camera on while driving down the road. Cannot access monitor. When care shuts off the menu for the monitor turn on so I am able to see the " home, setting, phone set up" . no so Any advice as to
1. why this happened
2. what I can do to fix it

thank you in advance
D

Do the back-up lamps also stay on? If so, then the rig still thinks it's in reverse which would indicate a problem with the shifter mechanism.

thank you for your reply. do you know if this is a big job to repair? in the steering column or would this be elsewhere? the car drives and shifts normal. I have an appt with the dealer in a few days and just trying to prepare myself or wondering it is an electronic thing that needs a reset?

Anyone find a fix to this? I just disconnected my battery but didn't help.

I'm having additional issues troubleshooting because I put Spec-D LED taillights in recently. When I put them in I had LED backup bulbs installed. Camera started coming on while driving. Saw somewhere that the LED backup bulbs may cause it so swapped back to the stocks. Fixed the problem for a while. Then last weekend the screen flickered and now the camera has been on ever since. Contacted Spec-D and they sent replacement taillights which should be delivered tomorrow, hopefully that fixes it. Otherwise I'll have to put the stock housings back in and see what happens.

Have an appointment on Friday to have this diagnosed. Put my stock tail housings back in and still having the same issue so has to be a sensor that's saying it in R all the time.

My wife’s 2018 just started doing this today. Runs & drives perfectly normal but the back up camera stays on as well as the reverse lights unless I turn it to accessory, then I can access the Home Screen. Any easy things I can check for? Dealers here are backed up for months

Totally forgot to post an update. Dealer determined mine was a short in the camera itself that ended up causing the camera and backup lights to stay on constantly. At first they tried to blame it on my aftermarket taillights but I let them know that the ones that were in were the stocks. Put the aftermarkets back in after the camera was replaced and everything has been fine since.

Did they replace your camera or the camera module? Having the same issue and don't want to bring it to the dealer.

That poster hasn't been on here since June 2023.

camera module issue would have to be ruled in or out with a scanner, maybe you could unplug it and see if the reverse lights go off, not sure where it even is located

Good afternoon Wes,

We've chatted previously on my thread regarding this issue.

I'm having the same issue intermittently. I'm currently getting a blue screen in reverse. However, it's currently functioning normally in drive. That could change... it's random and likely a short and moisture related.

I've never been happy with the resolution quality. I do a lot of backing up at night. Other members have talked about the resolution quality too.

I'm wondering 2 things: 1- Is the quality issue because of the camera or the display. 2- If the camera is the issue, is there is a better quality aftermarket camera compatible with stock infotainment system?

I'd really appreciate your further thoughts.
Jeff

Further research in other thread reveals the easiest solution to the resolution quality is replacement of the reverse lights with ultra bright LEDs

I replaced the camera on the wifes 2016 with a new oem one, under the assumption it would work better it made no difference.
given that doing the job is "no fun" I have not yet tried any another camera's. The one on my 18 silverado seems to work pretty well, but not sure if the actual "camera" can be transferred over the mount is completely different.
you would need to look at the backside of a pickup one and the backside of a suv one to see.
on my gtm900 the entire setup can be dissembled down to the lens about the size of a rolling dice
this is the backside of the suburban one, it has 2 screws so it can be pulled out of the mount, why it has 6 wires I don't know maybe it has some kind of ir ring
