B1A62 on Chevrolet by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Owners report the camera display failing: a black screen with a red or error camera icon when shifting to reverse, sometimes with every camera view black when selected from the menu. In the linked threads the cameras came back on their own after a few seconds or a few hours. Applies to: Owner reports from 2022 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss trucks (one with the 13-inch screen of the 2022 refresh). GM's reset instructions PIC6566C describe the same black reverse-camera screen on 2024–2026 Silverado LD and many other GM models.
Common Symptoms
- Black screen with a camera error icon when shifting to reverse
- Backup camera blacks out for a few seconds, only at night
How to Fix
Have the dealer check for current DTCs and software. GM's PIC6566C describes the black screen with a triangle and crossed-out camera on startup in reverse, lists DTCs such as U023C, B1596 and B1A62, attributes it to software anomalies and directs a radio or image/video processing module reset, replacing the video processing module on a repeat visit.

Frequently asked questions
What does B1A62 mean on a Chevrolet?
B1A62 stands for "Rear Vision Camera." A body code owned by the Video Processing Module (VPM) — and, for some symptom bytes, the CSM/Radio — covering faults in the rear vision camera feed. GM enumerates it entirely by symptom byte: B1A62-82 = Rear Vision Camera Alive/Sequence Counter Incorrect, B1A62-86 = Rear Vision Camera Signal Invalid, B1A62-46 = Calibration/Parameter Memory Failure, B1A62-49 = Internal Electronic Failure, B1A62-54 = Missing Calibration, B1A62-55 = Not Configured, B1A62-92 = Performance or Incorrect Operation, B1A62-98 = Component or System Over Temperature. The Escalade issue cites B1A62-86, meaning the VPM received the camera's video/data stream but judged its content invalid rather than absent — which is why the screen goes black with the crossed-out-camera icon while the module itself stays alive on the bus. On Chevrolet it is documented across 1 model: Silverado 1500.
What are the most common causes of B1A62?
The most common causes of B1A62 are: Video Processing Module (VPM) software anomaly — the dominant cause per GM 23-NA-007 and PIT6369B, corrected by module reset or reprogramming rather than parts, Rear vision camera internal electronic failure (symptom 49), Lost, missing or corrupted camera calibration / configuration data in the VPM (symptoms 46, 54, 55), Degraded coaxial/LVDS link between the rear camera and the VPM — connector corrosion, chafed or pinched coax, poor Fakra connector seating, Camera or module over-temperature (symptom 98). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
