Causes
- Open or shorted wiring to the actuator (power or ground)
- Failed camera washer actuator motor or internal switch
- Poor connector contact or corrosion at actuator connector
- Blown fuse or faulty relay in the washer/actuator circuit
- Faulty body control module (BCM) or camera module driver circuit
- Mechanical jam or obstruction of the actuator/nozzle
Symptoms
- Camera washer for position F does not operate when activated
- Nozzle does not spray or actuator does not move
- Warning message or camera obscured notification on dash/infotainment
- Intermittent operation or only audible clicking without fluid flow
- Related DTCs for other washer actuators or communication faults
What to check
- 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)
Signal parameters
- 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
Diagnostic algorithm
- 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.
Likely causes
- Connector corrosion or loose pin at actuator
- Actuator motor failure (no movement when commanded)
- Power supply fuse or relay open for the washer circuit
- Command/ground driver on BCM or camera module failed
- Blockage in washer hose or nozzle preventing flow
Fault status
Status
