Multiple owners have reported the rearview camera failing to display when shifting into reverse, showing a blank/blue/black screen, or appearing only after a long delay. This issue is documented in owner complaints and overlaps with infotainment/display faults, but the safety impact is distinct because the camera is federally required equipment. In some cases the problem is intermittent, making it difficult to reproduce at the dealer.
Common Symptoms

- blue screen when backing up
- black screen when shifting into reverse
- camera image appears after several seconds
- guidelines missing or frozen
How to Fix
Check for related GM service bulletins, software updates, and camera/radio module faults. Diagnosis should include verifying camera power/ground, coax or video signal integrity, and whether the issue is isolated to the camera or part of a broader infotainment dropout. If software updates do not resolve it, dealers may replace the camera or radio/display components depending on test results.
