Low Washer Fluid Indicator Malfunction
- Verify the washer fluid reservoir is filled up.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the B118 Windshield Washer Fluid Level Sensor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the signal circuit terminal A at the B118B Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch harness connector and signal terminal 15 at the P16 Instrument Cluster harness connector.
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
- Reconnect all harness connectors.
- Ignition ON, command the Driver Information Center Segment test ON and OFF with the scan tool, verify that the low washer fluid indicator display reacts to ON and OFF positions.
- If the low washer fluid indicator display stays always ON or always OFF, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If the low washer fluid indicator display changes between ON and OFF, test or replace the B118B Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch.
- Ignition OFF, remove the B118 Windshield Washer Fluid Level Sensor.
- Install a wire at terminal A and terminal B. Observe the resistance while moving the level switch.
- The resistance should be changing between less than 5 ohms to infinite resistance while moving the level switch.
- If not the specified range, replace the B118B Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch.
