It means the PDR Camera is sending an invalid signal to the PDR module. Could be due to a problem with the USB cable connecting the two or with the camera. I had the PDR Camera cable get noisy/intermittent which caused interference and broken recorded video and it was replaced under warranty. Mechanic tells me the USB cables and connectors used in this and other camera applications in GM cars have a tendency to fail. He had replaced several in Cadillacs and GMCs before he replaced the one in my Z06. The one in the Z06 supposedly required complete replacement of a large harness that went from the BCM area up behind the dash with the camera cable breaking off to go up to the camera. This required a major disassembly of the interior. He ordered the new harness and cut out the cable and wire tied it to the harness that was already in the car, got the problem fixed and avoided tearing apart the interior.
How did you find this code? It isn't one that would show up on a normal OBD II scanner.

I brought the car to service and this was one of the codes that the computer had.
Last time I was there (2 weeks ago), I had a B127E code (Front Video Display Output Signal) which may have manifested itself into a B283C...
