Upgraded to Tow Mirrors now have "Reverse Brake Assist Not Available" and 360-degree camera calibration issues

[Bryon]

I have a 2021 F-150 4x4 SuperCrew 145” Wheelbase 3.5L V6 Ecoboost with a 3.55 Rear Axle 7050# GVWR with the 360-degree camera package. VIN 1FTFW1E83MFC78780. I had standard manual fold mirrors with BLIS, puddle lights, cameras & turn signals. I found someone that had bought a 2022 F-150 that came with manual fold tow mirrors with the same options as my standard mirrors. We met up and swapped mirrors, everything “works” but not 100% correctly. I now have 2 issues (which I THINK are related to the cameras not being calibrated correctly).

• When I back up I get the “Reverse Brake Assist Not Available See Manual” error message. I have disabled it but then I get the message that it’s disabled. It’s just a nuisance but I would like to fix it.
• My 360 view is out of alignment. I think the “stitching” is off. I am so used to using it when I’m backing into a parking spot that it’s throwing me off.

I bought the OBDLink EX USB Auto-Switch as recommended in the FORScan Tutorial, downloaded and installed FORScan v2.3.66. I made one change to make sure it was working, turned off the black box on rear camera (after I backed up everything of course!). The change works great.

I have one DTC message on the IPMA – B1578:78-2F. I tried the self-tests and I tried to manually turn it off but I can’t clear this message.

I am not sure if this is the reason I can’t calibrate the 360 cameras or not. I have tried over a dozen times in many different parking lots to get the sync to work. Most of the time it said test aborted. Twice I got this Not Calibrated log:

(OK) [12:58:00.540] IPMA 360° View Camera Calibration has been started

(WARN) [12:58:17.990] Executing service procedure...

(WARN) [13:08:33.049] Front Camera Calibration Status: Not Calibrated

(WARN) [13:08:33.052] Left Camera Calibration Status: Not Calibrated

(WARN) [13:08:33.054] Rear Camera Calibration Status: Not Calibrated

(WARN) [13:08:33.056] Right Camera Calibration Status: Not Calibrated

(OK) [13:08:33.063] Service procedure completed successfully

The final time I got this:

(OK) [16:02:35.075] IPMA 360° View Camera Calibration has been started

(WARN) [16:02:40.878] Executing service procedure...

(WARN) [16:12:55.093] Front Camera Calibration Status: Success

(WARN) [16:12:55.095] Left Camera Calibration Status: Success

(WARN) [16:12:55.096] Rear Camera Calibration Status: Success

(WARN) [16:12:55.098] Right Camera Calibration Status: Success

(OK) [16:12:55.104] Service procedure completed successfully.

That was 3 days ago, I drive my truck daily and it didn’t help. Even on the calibration screen it still looked off after it got to 100%. I have attached a screen shot with areas circled in red below.

So I still have both issues.

• Reverse Brake Assist Not Available See Manual
• 360-degree camera images not aligned correctly

Is this something I’m going to have to take into a dealer to get fixed or can someone help me figure this out?

Thanks for looking and any help!

When calibrating the 360 cameras it is imperative that you do not exceed 4MPH during the entire time.

Even when mine calibrates successfully there still is a little bit of misalignment.
