B0115 code meaning
Camera Washer Actuator M
What B0115 means
B0115 names actuator M. Where several cameras share one pump, the actuator is often a distribution valve. Solero's SCV43 is a 4/3-way valve switched by voltage, with one inlet and three independently switched outlets, so a single pump can serve up to three nozzles and fewer DC pumps are needed in the reservoir. Kautex's Allegro systems clean several camera points and lidar with water and air, and their software decides which point is served first. With a shared valve block, one failed coil can stop washing at one camera while the others still spray, and that is how a single-letter code like B0115 would show. No manufacturer publishes B0115 or the camera behind M.

What to do next
- Note B0115 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.
