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
- Retrieve freeze frame and any additional related DTCs. Note when the fault occurs (activation attempt, key on, etc.).
- Check washer fluid level and visually inspect hoses/nozzles for blockage or freezing. Refill and clear blockages as needed.
- Verify fuses and relay for the washer/camera system. Replace any blown fuses and test relay operation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
