What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator H. 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 H operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera H. The control module monitors its circuit and operation; this code indicates a fault associated with H, but does not state whether the cause is the actuator, its wiring, fuse, or module.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Failed camera washer actuator
- Open or shorted actuator wiring
- Loose, corroded, or damaged connector
- Blown fuse or faulty driver circuit
- Blocked or seized washer mechanism
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 identify when the camera washer actuator H fault was recorded.
- Check washer fluid and inspect camera H’s washer nozzle and plumbing for blockage, leakage, or a seized mechanism.
- Inspect actuator H’s connector and wiring for loose, corroded, wet, or damaged connections, and check the relevant fuse.
- Use a supported scan-tool output test to command actuator H and observe whether the assigned washer operates.
- Test actuator H’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts using the manufacturer’s specification.
- If the actuator and circuit are sound, check the washer control module driver and connections.
Common fixes
- Refill washer fluid or clear a blockage in the camera H washer plumbing.
- Replace a blown fuse only after checking for a short, and repair damaged wiring or connector terminals.
- Replace a failed camera washer actuator H.
- Repair the washer control module driver circuit or replace the module if testing confirms it is faulty.
Can I keep driving?
You can generally drive, but camera H may not be cleaned and its view or related assistance functions may be impaired. Keep the camera clear and avoid relying on those 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.
