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