What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with Sensor Cleaning Air Blower Actuator B Control Relay. The code alone does not specify the failure mode.
How it works
Sensor Cleaning Air Blower Actuator B Control Relay switches or supplies power for blower actuator B. B0105 points to a fault associated with this relay function, but does not specify whether the relay, wiring, or power supply is at fault.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Faulty relay
- Open or shorted wiring
- Loose or corroded connector
- Blown fuse
Symptoms
- Sensor or camera visibility warning
- Reduced sensor function
- Warning light or message
How to diagnose it
- Scan the relevant module for B0105 and associated blower or relay codes, then review freeze-frame or live data for the actuator B relay command.
- Identify the actuator B control relay from the wiring diagram and inspect its socket, connector, and wiring for corrosion, heat damage, loose contact, or chafing.
- Check the relay fuse and supply circuit against the wiring diagram and manufacturer's specification.
- Test the relay's control and switched circuits for opens, shorts, and poor connections using the manufacturer's procedure.
- Test the relay against the manufacturer's specification or, where permitted, compare it with a known-good relay specified for the same circuit.
Common fixes
- Clean and secure the actuator B relay connector or socket.
- Repair damaged actuator B relay control or supply wiring.
- Replace the failed fuse after identifying and correcting the cause.
- Replace the actuator B control relay if it fails testing.
- Repair the controlling module only if its relay command is confirmed faulty.
Can I keep driving?
The vehicle is generally drivable, but blower actuator B may not operate, so its sensor or camera may become obscured. Keep the sensor area clean and use caution with related driver-assistance features when visibility is poor.
A code shows where the control module detected a fault, not always which part failed. Check the causes in order and confirm with a test before replacing parts. Have several codes? Check them together
This is a generic code: it means the same on every make. The car’s maker may add more detail in its own service information.
