OBD-II fault code

B0111: Camera Washer Actuator H

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.

  1. Failed camera washer actuator
  2. Open or shorted actuator wiring
  3. Loose, corroded, or damaged connector
  4. Blown fuse or faulty driver circuit
  5. Blocked or seized washer mechanism

Symptoms

  • Warning light or symbol related to the affected system
  • Comfort or safety function impaired

How to diagnose it

  1. 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.
  2. Check washer fluid and inspect camera H’s washer nozzle and plumbing for blockage, leakage, or a seized mechanism.
  3. Inspect actuator H’s connector and wiring for loose, corroded, wet, or damaged connections, and check the relevant fuse.
  4. Use a supported scan-tool output test to command actuator H and observe whether the assigned washer operates.
  5. Test actuator H’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts using the manufacturer’s specification.
  6. 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.
