Can someone provide some guidance on how I would go about reprogramming a replacement rear camera? I compared the as built data from Ford and what the BCM’s report back but there are several differences. Since I had the dealer add remote start after delivery I am sure some of these changes are supposed to be there. But how would I know what to change and change to what?
To clarify, the rear camera does work and is displayed on the MFT screen but the guide lines and warning blocks are no longer visible. So I am hoping to program this in the body control module to get the lines back.

Re: Need to reprogram rear camera

Sorry I can’t really be of help but here is some info that you may or may not know:
ISSUE: Fixed guidelines are not displayed on the video image
Possible Source: Video camera not configured after replacement (DTC B115E:55 may be present) , Video camera , Fixed guidelines feature is disabled
Action: CARRY OUT the video camera configuration using the scan tool under Body > RVC Configuration.
The rear video camera system consists of the following:
Video camera (located in the liftgate)
Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)
Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)
Přístrojová deska (IPC)
Řídicí modul karoserie (BCM)
The video camera system visually aids the driver while reversing or reverse parking the vehicle. The video camera system features are as follows:
Fixed guidelines — this feature assists the driver with backing into a parking space or aligning the vehicle with an object.
Visual park aid alert — this feature assists the driver to visually see the object causing the parking aid system to sound.
Manual zoom — this feature assists the driver with connecting or towing a trailer allowing the driver to manually zoom closer to an object behind the vehicle.
Video camera delay — this feature allows the driver to see the image behind the vehicle after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse. The image will not be displayed if the vehicle is shifted into park.
The features are controlled though the FDIM . Refer to the Owner’s Literature for information on how to operate the video camera system features.
The video camera system has 4 video features that are controlled in the FDIM . The features are:
Fixed guidelines
Visual park aid alert
Manuální zoom
Video camera delay
For each one of these system features except the camera delay feature, the APIM sends a network message requesting the system feature to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) via the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) . The IPC sends the message to the BCM over the HS-CAN . The BCM sends the message to the video camera over the LIN . The LIN is a dedicated single wire communication line that sends and receives network messages from the BCM to the video camera. The video camera delay feature is controlled with in the APIM .
The messages sent from the BCM to the video camera are:
transmission selector (PRNDL) status
liftgate ajar status
camera configuration data
display manual zoom request
parking aid audible warning status
parking aid sensor distance to object data
The messages sent from the video camera to the BCM are:
stav kamery
display zoom status
camera part number data
visual park aid alert status
fixed guideline status
All of the video camera features are enabled and disabled within the FDIM menu screen.
The video camera delay feature keeps the image displayed on the FDIM until the vehicle reaches 8 km/h (5 mph) when the vehicle is shifted out of reverse or if any button on the FDIM is pressed.
The video camera fixed guidelines feature displays guidelines on top of the video image to assist the driver with alignment of the vehicle. A dashed line on the displayed image represents the center of the vehicle and 3 color-coded lines (red, yellow, green) identify different zones between the rear of the vehicle and objects.
NOTE: The color-coded lines cannot indicate accurate or consistent distances between objects located behind the vehicle and at the rear of the vehicle. This normal condition is due to variances in vehicle ride height, including, but not limited to, vehicle loading.
The visual park aid alert feature utilizes the 4 parking aid sensor inputs from the Parking Aid Module (PAM) and the video camera image. When the transaxle selector is in the reverse position and an object is detected in the path of the parking aid sensor, a network message of the distance from the parking aid sensor to the object is sent from the PAM to the BCM over the HS-CAN . The BCM networks the parking aid sensor message to the video camera over the LIN . The visual alerts are red, yellow or green and appear as highlights on top of the displayed image to indicate in which zone the object is detected. The highlighted visual alerts are still operational if the parking aid system is disabled within the IPC and the visual alert feature is enabled.
The manual zoom feature is controlled by the video camera. The manual zoom feature has 3 zoom levels that are only active when the vehicle is in reverse. If the manual zoom feature is enabled and the vehicle is shifted out of reverse the manual zoom feature is disabled. The manual zoom feature must be re-enabled the next time the vehicle is shifted into reverse. When the FDIM requests the video image to be zoomed in or out, the APIM sends a zoom request network message to the IPC . The IPC sends the message to the BCM , which sends the zoom request message to the video camera over the LIN . The video image sent by the video camera is then digitally zoomed in or out.
