This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the part of the car that sprays water to clean the LIDAR sensor. It's like a windshield wiper for the car's eyes.
The LIDAR Washer Actuator C is responsible for ensuring the LIDAR sensor is kept clean by spraying washer fluid on it. This code indicates a malfunction in that system.
The B0108 code is triggered when the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system detects a malfunction in the LIDAR Washer Actuator C. This could be due to an electrical issue, a mechanical failure, or a blockage in the washer fluid system.
• LIDAR sensor not being cleaned properly
• Warning light on the dashboard
• Washer fluid leaking or not spraying
• Faulty LIDAR washer actuator
• Electrical issue such as a blown fuse or damaged wiring
• Blockage in the washer fluid line
LIDAR: Light Detection and Ranging, a sensor technology used for measuring distances.
Actuator: A device that causes a mechanical system to move or operate.
• Check the fuse related to the LIDAR washer system.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage.
• Verify there is no blockage in the washer fluid line.
• Replace the faulty LIDAR washer actuator.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.

Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the warning light; address the issue promptly.
• Regular maintenance can prevent this code from appearing.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on sensor systems.
This code has become more common with the increased use of LIDAR sensors in modern vehicles.
Moderate – It should be addressed to ensure the LIDAR sensor functions correctly.
Ignoring this issue may affect the vehicle's ability to detect obstacles accurately, impacting safety.
• Vehicle stationary
• Ignition on
The LIDAR washer actuator is typically located near the LIDAR sensor, often at the front of the vehicle.
Q: Can I drive with a B0108 code?
A: It's possible to drive, but it's recommended to fix the issue to ensure the LIDAR sensor works properly.
Q: What happens if I ignore this code?
A: Ignoring this code may lead to reduced sensor performance and potentially unsafe driving conditions.
