What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with LIDAR Washer Actuator B. The code alone does not specify the failure mode.
How it works
LIDAR Washer Actuator B operates the washer function assigned to LIDAR channel B, which helps clear contamination from that sensor. B0107 identifies a fault associated with actuator B, though low washer fluid or a blocked hose can also prevent cleaning.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Faulty washer actuator
- Damaged wiring
- Loose or corroded connector
- Low washer fluid or blocked plumbing
Symptoms
- LIDAR sensor cleaning warning
- Reduced driver assistance function
- Warning message
How to diagnose it
- Scan the driver-assistance or body module for B0107 and related washer faults, and check available status data for the LIDAR B actuator command.
- Verify washer-fluid level, then inspect the LIDAR B nozzle and its hoses for blockage, leaks, kinks, or disconnection.
- Find washer actuator B using service information and inspect its connector and wiring for corrosion, looseness, or physical damage.
- Check the applicable fuse and verify actuator B power and ground against the wiring diagram and manufacturer's specification.
- If supported, command actuator B with a scan tool and check for actuator operation and fluid delivery to LIDAR B.
Common fixes
- Refill the reservoir with the specified washer fluid.
- Clear a blockage or repair a leaking, kinked, or disconnected LIDAR B hose.
- Clean or secure actuator B's connector and repair damaged wiring.
- Replace a failed fuse after checking the circuit for a short or overload.
- Replace LIDAR washer actuator B if it fails testing with sound wiring and plumbing.
Can I keep driving?
You may be able to drive, but contamination on LIDAR B can limit driver-assistance functions that use that sensor. Keep it clean and heed any reduced-sensor-function warnings.
