What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator D. 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 D operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera D. The control module monitors the circuit and operation for that specific actuator and stores this code when it detects an associated fault; it does not state the exact failure mode.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Failed camera washer actuator
- Damaged wiring or connector
- Open or short in actuator circuit
- 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
- Scan the relevant body or driver-assistance module for related codes and freeze-frame data to establish when the camera washer actuator D fault was recorded.
- Find camera D and check its washer fluid supply, nozzle, and hose for blockage, leaks, or a seized mechanism.
- Inspect actuator D’s connector and wiring for loose connections, corrosion, water ingress, or physical damage.
- Command actuator D using a supported scan-tool output test and check whether the assigned washer responds.
- Test actuator D’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts against the manufacturer’s specification.
- If actuator D and its circuit pass, examine the washer control module’s output and connections.
Common fixes
- Refill washer fluid or clear a blockage in the camera D washer plumbing.
- Clean or secure actuator D’s connector and repair damaged wiring.
- Replace a failed camera washer actuator D.
- Repair the washer control module circuit or replace the module if testing confirms an internal fault.
Can I keep driving?
You can usually drive, but the camera served by actuator D may become obscured and reduce the effectiveness of related assistance features. Keep that camera clean and avoid relying on those features if its view is impaired.
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.
