The windshield washer reservoir is located in the engine compartment. On models with headlight washers, the fluid is supplied to the jets by an additional pump from the same reservoir.
Windscreen washer fluid reservoir
1. Remove the fluid from the windshield washer reservoir.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the windshield washer pump. Carefully remove the pump from the windshield washer reservoir. Inspect the pump O-rings for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fluid level sensor.
4. Unscrew the nuts and bolts and remove the windshield washer reservoir. Rinse the reservoir with clean cold water.
5. Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Fill the tank with liquid and check its tightness.
Windscreen washer pump
Windshield washer pump location at the base of the reservoir
1. Disconnect the electrical connector and hose from the windshield washer pump (see fig. Location of windshield washer pump at the base of the reservoir).
2. Carefully remove the windshield washer pump from the reservoir and remove the pump sealing ring. Wash away any fluid leaks with cold water.
3. Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Check the condition of the sealing ring and replace it if necessary. Fill the windshield washer reservoir with liquid and check its tightness.
Liquid level sensor
Disconnecting the electrical connector from the liquid level sensor
Liquid Level Sensor O-Ring Location
1. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fluid level sensor and carefully remove the sensor from the reservoir. Remove the sensor sealing ring and wash away any fluid leaks with cold water (see Fig. Disconnecting the electrical connector from the liquid level sensor, Location of the liquid level sensor sealing ring).
2. Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Check the condition of the sensor sealing ring and replace it if necessary. Fill the windshield washer reservoir with liquid and check its tightness.
Windshield washer jets
1. Open the hood and remove the cover from the inside of the hood to access the rear of the jet.
2. Disconnect the washer hose from the jet. If present, disconnect the electrical connector from the jet.
3. Release the retaining clip and carefully remove the jet from the hood.
4. Install the jet on the hood and connect the hose and, if available, the electrical connector to it. Close the hood and check the operation of the jet. Adjust the direction of the fluid stream using a needle inserted into the nozzle. The fluid should be supplied to the windshield from one nozzle slightly above the center, and from the second nozzle - slightly below the center of the windshield.
Headlight washer jets
Removal the headlight washer jet
