Default Backup Camera Stays On

In the 2 dozen or so times we have driven our 2015 ES350, twice when backing out of a parking space the camera displayed on the screen and stayed on while driving forward until the car was turned off. Pressing any of the radio or navigation controls etc. did nothing. I am taking it in for the 6 months check soon and will have them look at it.

strange. my 2013 has had the camera stick on for a few extra seconds past shifting out of reverse before, but never has it stayed on. Definitely see what the dealer has to say. I'd take a video of it happening too, just in case they 'cant reproduce the issue'.

If I recall correctly, the rear-view image is controlled by the power to the back-up lights. The head unit displays the video whenever the video signal is present on that input... The video signal is present whenever the camera has power. The power for the backup camera is tapped from the back-up lights.

Are the back-up lights also stuck on?

Good question, I will have to check the next time it happens, thanks.

I know that when my camera is stuck on for a few seconds, the reverse lights turn off immediately after shifting from reverse.

I've had this happen to me on my IS.

I just stopped, put it in park, then back into drive and it resolved it. If it happens again, I'll check for the reverse lights.
