This code indicates that a control module is receiving corrupted, implausible, or incorrectly formatted data from the designated 'D' image processing sensor. It typically points to a communication or data integrity issue within a camera-based system rather than a complete loss of signal.
The camera or sensor itself is faulty and is transmitting erroneous data to the control module.
Chafed wires, corroded pins, or poor connections can disrupt the data signal and cause invalid readings.
Condensation or water intrusion can obstruct the lens or internally short the sensor, resulting in corrupt data output.
A mismatch between the sensor firmware and the receiving module can cause the data to be misinterpreted as invalid.
Rarely, the module that processes the sensor data may have an internal fault, though this is highly uncommon.
Yes, the vehicle will generally remain drivable, but any safety or driver assistance features relying on that specific camera will be disabled until the issue is resolved.
Not necessarily; while the camera itself could be faulty, the code can also be triggered by damaged wiring, poor connections, or moisture obstructing the camera lens.
No. Replacing the PCM or ECM is almost never the correct fix for this code. The issue originates within the camera circuit, its wiring, or the dedicated vision processing module, not the main engine computer.
Moisture on the lens can distort the image, and internal condensation can short the sensor electronics, causing the system to process corrupted visual information and flag it as invalid data.
