Test C: The LOW WASHER FLUID LEVEL Message Is Inoperative/Always On
PINPOINT TEST C: THE LOW WASHER FLUID LEVEL MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ONNormal Operation
The instrument cluster (IC) is hardwired to the low washer fluid switch through circuit 82 (PK/YE). The low washer fluid switch closes when the washer fluid level is low, providing a ground to the instrument cluster (IC) through circuit 57 (BK) and turning on the LOW WASHER FLUID LEVEL message. When the washer fluid is above the low level, the low washer fluid switch opens, removing the ground to the instrument cluster (IC), and the LOW WASHER FLUID LEVEL message turns off.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Washer fluid reservoir
- Instrument cluster (IC)
