B010C: Camera Washer Actuator C

What it means

This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator C. The code alone does not specify the failure mode.

At a glance

• Usually lights the airbag (SRS) or body-system warning light

How it works

Camera washer actuator C operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera C. The control module monitors that actuator’s circuit and operation; this code indicates a fault associated with C, without specifying whether the actuator, wiring, or module caused it.

Common causes

Most likely first.

1. Failed camera washer actuator
2. Damaged wiring or connector
3. Open or short in actuator circuit
4. Fault in the washer control module

Symptoms

• Warning light or symbol related to the affected system
• Comfort or safety function impaired

How to diagnose it

1. Read related body or driver-assistance module codes and freeze-frame data to see when the camera washer actuator C fault occurred.
2. Locate camera C and inspect its washer fluid supply, nozzle, and hose for low fluid, blockage, leaks, or a seized mechanism.
3. Check actuator C’s connector and wiring for corrosion, loose terminals, moisture, or damage.
4. Use a supported scan-tool output test to command actuator C and verify whether its washer mechanism responds.
5. Test actuator C’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts according to the manufacturer’s specification.
6. If the actuator and wiring are sound, inspect the washer control module’s output and connections.

Common fixes

• Refill washer fluid or clear the camera C washer nozzle or hose.
• Clean and secure actuator C’s connector or repair damaged wiring.
• Replace a faulty camera washer actuator C.
• Repair the washer control module circuit or replace the module if confirmed faulty.

Can I keep driving?

Driving is usually possible, but a dirty camera C can limit visibility or camera-based assistance. Keep its lens clear and do not rely on affected assistance features when the camera view is poor.
