B010C names actuator C. Front cameras sit in the grille and get a jet of their own. Ford's TSB 20-2267 (2020) covers 2015–2020 F-150 (not Raptor), 2017–2020 Super Duty and 2018–2020 Expedition fitted with a front camera wash: the jet dripped fluid when idle because of its internal rubber seal, and the cure is a new jet, with the grille removed and the 360-degree camera aligned afterwards. Asmo's application US20110292212A1 explains why such jets carry a check valve: it opens only under pump pressure, so fluid neither runs onto the lens nor lets air into the line. A leaking seal sets no electrical code by itself; B010C points to the actuator or its circuit. The camera tied to C is unpublished, as is any maker use of the code.

Likely causes

Damaged wiring or plug at the front end, exposed to stone chips, water and salt
Pump or valve C seized or electrically defective
Plug left disconnected after grille or bumper work

Symptoms
