What B0119 means

B0119 names actuator Q. Land Rover's SSM76076 (2023) for the Defender (L663) from model year 2020 traces dripping headlamp washer jets and a dripping rear camera washer jet to a one-way valve in the feed pipe that no longer seals; the dealer tool runs a guided leak test and may call for a new rear camera washer hose with the valve. Headlamp and camera washing thus often share fluid and parts. ARaymond's cleaning brochure lists non-return valves, quick connectors and heated nozzles as building blocks of such circuits. A leaking valve is a hydraulic fault, not an electrical one; B0119 itself points to actuator Q or its wiring. Which camera Q serves is not published, and no maker documents the code.

What to do next

  • Note B0119 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.
