Approaching it as an interesting puzzle, I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with the Mobileye. So far I can't find anything wrong with the 6 hookups to the vehicle's wiring (power, ignition, ground, CAN high and CAN low, wipers), and I can't find any shorts.
Besides the Mobileye itself not working, the vehicle systems affected were: false TPMS warning, false door ajar warning, false parking brake warning, radio would not turn on, turn signals worked but there was no dash indicator or audible clicks. Reviewing wiring diagrams revealed no "hard" commonality between these, such as you would expect if a short or something was interfering with just that set of systems.
However, all of them connect, sooner or later, to the CAN bus. As does the Mobileye. So I've come to suspect the Mobileye is either spraying static onto the CAN bus, or sending bogus packets that are being interpreted as commands altering the behavior of those instruments.
The Escape has two CAN buses, one is medium speed and the other is high speed. The high speed network connects to critical vehicle systems such as the airbags and engine management. The medium speed network connects to accessories such as all the ones having problems. (Both of these networks are represented at the OBD-II connector.) Since the Mobileye connects to the medium speed network, I'm not worried about the Mobileye affecting important vehicle systems.
The main Mobileye sensor is the video camera. The other way the Mobileye gets data is from the CAN bus (speed, turn signals, brakes etc.). The only signal used by the Mobileye not on the Escape's CAN bus is the wiper signal. Since the C2-270 can be hooked up in analog mode for cars that lack a CAN bus, the analog wiper wire seems to be connected to the wiper switch to get that signal. Between the Mobileye and the CAN bus is an interpreter to allow the Mobileye and the CAN bus to talk to each other.
The Mobileye can be set up to control the headlights, which would give it a reason to be able to send data to the CAN bus. But I don't have that set up on mine. The Mobileye also is not capable of applying the brakes or steering. So the Mobileye should have no reason to send packets into the CAN bus. However, if the interpreter went awry, this could be happening or it could just be putting static on the bus.
You would think that if the problem was static, the systems affected would not always be exactly the same set. So that points a finger more toward a consistent set of bogus packets.
Even though it won't work anyway, the Mobileye can be connected to the vehicle and powered up without causing a problem, IF I unplug the cable that goes from the Mobileye control module to the camera module. I understand the CAN interpreter is in the camera module.
