Perform a visual inspection of the actuator, connector, wiring harness and washer lines for damage or contamination
Verify washer fluid level and check for clogged nozzles or frozen lines (cold climates)
Check relevant fuses and relays for the washer/actuator circuit
Use a scan tool to read current freeze frame and pending/confirmed codes and to command the actuator on/off
Back-probe the actuator connector while commanding the actuator to verify presence of supply voltage and/or switching ground
Measure actuator coil/motor resistance with connector disconnected (compare to service spec if available)

Supply voltage: should be near battery voltage (approx. 11–14 V) at the actuator power pin when commanded ON
Control: actuator may be driven by switched battery positive or a switched ground from BCM — back-probe while commanding to identify type
Idle voltage: with system OFF, expect no supply on switched circuit (or battery voltage on constant feed if present)
Current draw: typical small washer actuator motors draw under a few amps during normal operation; a stalled motor will draw significantly more
Resistance: actuator coil/motor resistance typically low (ohms). Compare measured value to manufacturer specification where available

Retrieve and record all related DTCs and attempt to replicate the symptom by commanding the camera washer with a scan tool.
Confirm washer fluid level and inspect nozzle/hose for blockages or freezing. Clear any obstruction and retest.
Visually inspect actuator and connector for corrosion, bent pins or water intrusion. Repair or replace damaged connectors.
Check fuses/relays for the washer circuit; replace any blown fuses and retest. Verify relay operation if present.
Back-probe actuator connector while commanding the function: verify correct supply voltage and switching signal (or ground) at the appropriate time.
With connector disconnected, measure actuator motor/coil resistance. If open or shorted out of spec, replace actuator.
Check wiring continuity between the actuator connector and the controlling module (BCM/camera module). Repair any open/shorted wiring.
If wiring and actuator are good but no command signal is present, verify BCM/camera module outputs, grounds, and any communication lines. Check for related comms DTCs.
If actuator operates when bench-tested directly to battery but not when connected in vehicle, focus on vehicle wiring/driver circuit. If actuator fails bench test, replace it.
After repairs, clear DTCs and perform functional test and a road/operation check to confirm the fault is resolved.
