Circuit/System Testing
Circuit/System Testing DTC B0203 47, 49, 82
- Replace the component: B225L Side View Driver Information Camera - Left
- Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC is not set
All OK.
- Go to next step: If the DTC sets
- If the DTC is not set
- Replace the component: K124 Image Processing Module
Circuit/System Testing DTC B0203 1C
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K124 Image Processing Module
- Wait for greater than 5 s.
- Connect appropriate EL-52552 pinout tool to K124 Image Processing Module
- Ignition/Vehicle - On
- Test for 7 to 11 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 VT @ K124 Image Processing Module & Ground (component side)
- If not between 7 and 11 V
Replace the component: K124 Image Processing Module
- Go to next step: If between 7 and 11 V
- If not between 7 and 11 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: B225L Side View Driver Information Camera - Left
- Locate the appropriate pinout adapter and load test loop adapter from EL-52552 COAX FAKRA Cable Adaptor Kit.
- Connect the 2 adapters together, measure and record the resistance between the terminals at the pinout adapter.
- Disconnect the 2 adapters and connect each one to the appropriate end of the coax cable.
- At the pinout adapter test terminals, measure the total resistance of the coax cable loop including the connected load test adapter.
- If not within 5 Ω of the reading from step 10.
Replace the coax cable
- Go to next step: If within 5 Ω of the reading from step 10.
- If not within 5 Ω of the reading from step 10.
- Replace the component: B225L Side View Driver Information Camera - Left
- Apply the parking brake.
- Ignition/Vehicle - On - Transmission in Reverse
- Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC is set
Replace the component: K124 Image Processing Module
- Go to next step: If the DTC is not set
- If the DTC is set
- All OK.
Before testing the coax cable, check the cable's exterior for being pinched, cut, damaged, or having loose connections at the components, all of which can cause reception issues.
Circuit/System Testing DTC B0203 4B
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Place vehicle in an area where a ambient temperature is 15 - 25° C (59 - 77° F) with engine OFF.
- Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Verify DTC B0203 4B is not set
- If DTC B0203 4B is not set
All OK.
- Go to next step: If DTC B0203 4B is set
- If DTC B0203 4B is not set
- Replace the component: B225L Side View Driver Information Camera - Left
- Verify DTC B0203 4B is not set
- If DTC B0203 4B is not set
All OK.
- Go to next step: If DTC B0203 4B is set
- If DTC B0203 4B is not set
- Replace the component: K124 Image Processing Module
DTC B0203 4B can set due to extreme environment temperature conditions and not necessarily due to a camera system defect.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
