B0112: Camera Washer Actuator J

What it means

This code identifies a fault associated with Camera Washer Actuator J. 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 J operates the washer mechanism assigned to camera J. The control module monitors J’s circuit and operation and stores this code when it detects an associated fault; the code does not identify the specific failed component.

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. Read related body or driver-assistance module codes and freeze-frame data to determine when the camera washer actuator J fault set.
2. Locate camera J and check washer fluid level, nozzle, and plumbing for blockage, leaks, or a seized mechanism.
3. Inspect actuator J’s wiring and connector for loose terminals, corrosion, moisture, or damage, and check the relevant fuse.
4. Run a supported scan-tool output test to command actuator J and observe whether its washer mechanism responds.
5. Test actuator J’s power, ground, and control circuit for opens or shorts against the manufacturer’s specification.
6. If the actuator and circuit pass, inspect the washer control module driver circuit and connections.

Common fixes

• Top up washer fluid or clear a blockage in camera J’s washer nozzle or hose.
• Replace a blown fuse after checking for a short, and repair damaged wiring or connector terminals.
• Replace a faulty camera washer actuator J.
• Repair the washer control module driver circuit or replace the module if testing establishes an internal fault.

Can I keep driving?

Driving is usually possible, but camera J may remain dirty, reducing its view and related assistance functions. Keep the camera clean and do not rely on affected features when visibility is impaired.
