What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator F. 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 F operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera F. The control module monitors its circuit and operation and stores this code when a fault associated with F is detected; the code does not identify whether the actuator, wiring, or module is responsible.
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 determine when the camera washer actuator F fault occurred.
- Identify camera F and check its washer fluid supply, nozzle, and hose for blockage, leaks, or a seized mechanism.
- Inspect actuator F’s wiring and connector for damage, corrosion, moisture, or loose terminals.
- Use a supported scan-tool output test to command actuator F and check whether its washer mechanism operates.
- Test actuator F’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts according to the manufacturer’s specification.
- If the actuator and circuit test correctly, inspect the washer control module’s output and connections.
Common fixes
- Refill washer fluid or clear a blocked camera F nozzle or hose.
- Secure or clean actuator F’s connector and repair damaged wiring.
- Replace a faulty camera washer actuator F.
- Repair the washer control module circuit or replace the module if testing confirms it has failed.
Can I keep driving?
You can generally drive, but a dirty camera F can impair its view and related camera-based assistance. Keep the lens clear and avoid relying on affected features when visibility is reduced.
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.
