B010E: Camera Washer Actuator E

What it means

This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator E. 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 E operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera E. The control module monitors actuator E’s circuit and operation, and sets this code when it detects a fault associated with that actuator; the code does not pinpoint the failed part.

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. Check related body or driver-assistance module codes and freeze-frame data to determine when the camera washer actuator E fault set.
2. Locate camera E and inspect its washer fluid supply, nozzle, and hose for blockage, leakage, or a seized mechanism.
3. Inspect actuator E’s connector and wiring for corrosion, looseness, moisture, or damage.
4. Run a supported scan-tool output test for actuator E and observe whether its washer mechanism responds.
5. Test actuator E’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts using the manufacturer’s specification.
6. If the actuator and wiring are sound, check the washer control module’s output and connections for a fault.

Common fixes

• Top up washer fluid or clear a blockage in the camera E washer nozzle or hose.
• Clean and secure actuator E’s connector or repair damaged wiring.
• Replace the failed camera washer actuator E.
• Repair the washer control module circuit or replace the module if tests confirm it is faulty.

Can I keep driving?

Driving is generally possible, but a dirty camera E may reduce visibility or the operation of camera-based assistance. Keep the affected lens clean and do not rely on assistance features when its view is obscured.
