If the backup camera on a 2014 Camry is malfunctioning, what are the steps to troubleshoot the issue?

To troubleshoot the issue with the backup camera in Your 2014 Camry, we can consider a few steps. First, check if the backup lights are functioning properly as they are connected to the camera activation switch under the shifter. If the lights are not working, it could indicate a connection issue or a camera failure, especially if it's old. Another possible cause could be rodent damage to the wiring. You can disconnect the camera's power source from the trunk and use a multiMeter to ensure it's receiving 6 volts. If there is no power, this is likely the root of the problem. In case the camera receives power but the display is distorted, it is probably due to a faulty wire. To address this, you can attempt a factory reset by locating the small reset access above the camera switch and holding it down for approximately 10 seconds using a pin or paper clip. This can help reset the camera and potentially resolve any issues.
