B010D code meaning
Camera Washer Actuator D
What B010D means
B010D covers actuator D. Audi's TSB 2059228/2 (2022) for the 2019–2022 e-tron and 2020–2022 e-tron Sportback shows what a missing check valve does to a rear camera wash: the line empties while driving or when the tailgate opens, the system stops after four activations to save fluid, and four tries are not enough to refill and pressurise it, so the lens stays dirty until the ignition (terminal 15) is switched off and on. The fix adds an inline valve, part 4N0 955 481 A. ARaymond fits such a non-return valve directly into a slim rear camera nozzle in a tailgate handle. Here the driver sees no spray but no fault code; B010D itself points to an electrical fault at actuator D, whose camera assignment is not published by any maker.

What to do next
- Note B010D and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
