B0118 covers actuator P. Equipment can disappear in the middle of a model year. Ford's SSM 51564 notes that the 2023 Lincoln Aviator and the 2022–2023 Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility built from mid-July or August 2022 lost washing of the rear parking camera; the jet may still be fitted without a hose, which is normal and needs no repair. Should a module be configured for an actuator the car no longer carries, a missing-load code of this kind could follow. Asmo's US20110292212A1 shows the options designers pick from: a T-piece off the rear-window hose, a separate pump for each nozzle, or a diversion valve. No manufacturer documents B0118 or the camera behind P.
