B0111 code meaning
Camera Washer Actuator H
What B0111 means
B0111 is the J2012 code for camera washer actuator H, but the number has an older second life. Toyota's bulletin T-SB-0069-12 (revision 2, 2014) for the 2004–2009 Sienna lists B0111 together with B0116 as an open side-airbag squib circuit with the SRS lamp lit, repaired in the floor harness. On that van the code has nothing to do with washing, and a scan tool showing the generic title would mislead. In the generic sense, actuator H is one of the pumps or valves that suppliers such as Kautex offer for ADAS cleaning, next to heated nozzles, heated hoses, connectors and level sensors. No manufacturer publishes which camera H means or documents B0111 as a washer code.

What to do next
- Note B0111 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.
