Most Reported On
B15E6 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Side Television Camera Signal Input Malfunction.” B15E6 is a Toyota/Lexus body code stored by the navigation receiver assembly when it does not receive the expected video signal from the parking assist ECU for the side camera input. On US-market vehicles it is frequently benign: Toyota TSB T-TT-0379-15 (Dec 2015) states that some 2014-2015 RAV4 vehicles store B15E6 for a camera system not fitted to US-spec cars, that it has no adverse effect on navigation operation, and that no repair should be attempted. On vehicles actually equipped with a side/perimeter camera, it points to the camera, its video wiring, or the parking assist ECU. Because B-codes are manufacturer-defined, confirm the code text with a Toyota-capable scan tool if your vehicle is another make. This code is most commonly reported on 2016-2017 Toyota Camry, and 2016-2018 Toyota RAV4 (RAV4 with applicable Entune head unit, RAV4 Hybrid with applicable Entune head unit).
