Causes

  • Blown fuse or tripped relay for washer pump/actuator circuit
  • Open or shorted wiring harness or damaged connector to actuator D
  • Corroded or loose connector pins
  • Failed camera washer actuator (motor, solenoid or valve)
  • Blocked or frozen washer nozzle or mechanical binding
  • Low washer fluid level or pump cavitation

Symptoms

  • Camera washer associated with lens D does not operate when commanded
  • Warning or camera system message indicating washer fault
  • Dirty or obscured camera lens that cannot be cleaned by washer
  • Audible clicking or no sound from washer pump/actuator when activated
  • Intermittent operation of the washer

What to check

  • Verify vehicle battery voltage and fuses/relays for the washer circuit.
  • Visually inspect wiring and connector for actuator D for damage, corrosion, or moisture.
  • Check washer fluid level and confirm no frozen lines or clogged nozzles.
  • Activate washer while monitoring connector voltage to the actuator (use scan tool or manual activation).
  • Perform continuity and resistance checks between module and actuator connector pins.
  • Bench-test actuator by applying proper voltage/ground to confirm mechanical function.

Signal parameters

  • Command voltage: battery voltage (~11–14 V) present at actuator pin when washer is commanded
  • Ground: low resistance to chassis ground (
  • Actuator coil/motor resistance: typically low (example 5–100 Ω depending on design); open or very high indicates failure
  • Current draw: actuator motor/pump typically draws up to a few amps when running (use clamp meter)
  • If PWM control used: command may be a switched/pulsed signal (typical pulse frequency range ~50–200 Hz depending on manufacturer)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve freeze frame and any additional related DTCs. Note when the fault occurs (activation attempt, key on, etc.).
  2. Check washer fluid level and visually inspect hoses/nozzles for blockage or freezing. Refill and clear blockages as needed.
  3. Verify fuses and relay for the washer/camera system. Replace any blown fuses and test relay operation.
  4. With key on, command the camera washer using a scan tool while probing the actuator connector: confirm presence of command voltage and a good ground at the connector.
  5. If no command is present but the scan tool commanded the washer, check wiring continuity back to the controlling module and inspect connectors for corrosion or damage.
  6. If command voltage is present but actuator does not run, disconnect actuator and bench-test by applying battery voltage and ground briefly to verify motor/valve operation. Replace actuator if it fails bench test.
  7. If actuator works on bench test, re-inspect harness for high resistance, intermittent connections, or shorts to chassis/power. Repair or replace damaged wiring or connector.
  8. If wiring and actuator are good, check the controlling module outputs and related grounding points; consider module software updates or replacement if outputs are faulty.
  9. Clear codes and perform several washer activation cycles to confirm repair. Monitor for recurrence and recheck if intermittent.

Likely causes

  • Open/short in wiring or poor connector connection to actuator D
  • Failed actuator motor or valve
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay controlling the washer circuit
  • Mechanical blockage or seized actuator/nozzle

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Camera washer actuator D circuit fault — open, short, high resistance, or no response detected. Washer may not operate to clean the camera lens.
