The B1472 code on your 2022 Toyota Highlander indicates a malfunction in the Panoramic View Monitor (360-degree camera) system. This code affects your Highlander's surround-view camera system that provides a bird's-eye view around the vehicle for parking and maneuvering.
Understanding B1472 on Toyota Highlander
The Panoramic View Monitor uses multiple cameras (front, rear, and side mirrors) to create a composite bird's-eye image of the vehicle's surroundings. Code B1472 indicates a fault in one or more of these cameras or the processing system that combines the images.

Primary Causes
- Camera unit failure (front, rear, or side)

Diagnostic Procedure for 2022 Highlander
Using Toyota Techstream or compatible scan tool, access PVM system data. Identify which camera(s) are faulting. Check each camera view individually if possible. Inspect all camera lenses for damage, dirt, or obstruction. Check camera wiring, especially side mirror cameras if mirrors were replaced. Verify camera connector conditions.
Repair Solutions
Clean dirty camera lenses. Replace damaged camera units. Repair wiring issues to affected cameras. If mirrors were replaced, ensure side cameras are properly connected and aligned. Camera calibration is required after replacement using Toyota diagnostic equipment. Clear codes and verify all 360 view sectors display correctly.
