Auris Washer Fluid Warning Issue

Thanks for the reply! No, the fluid isn't coming out at all. Where exactly is the fuse located, and how do I check if the nozzle is blocked? I'm not super technical when it comes to cars, so ELI5 if you can!

Okay, if no fluid is coming out, I'd lean towards a blocked pump or a dead pump motor. The fuse box location is usually in the engine bay or under the dashboard. Consult your car's manual, it will show the exact position and which fuse is for the washer pump. If the fuse is okay, honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get it checked out. Could be a faulty pump which requires replacement.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I had some time to check it myself and I found out that the wiper water level was actually too low (my bad!). I topped it up myself and everything works again! The error code disappeared after a while. Cost me 25€ to buy wiper fluid. Cheers!

That's strange. I had a similar problem with my Auris. Is the fluid actually coming out when you try to use the washers? If not, it could be a blocked nozzle or a faulty pump. The 'washer fluid low warning' could be a sensor issue, even if the level is fine. Have you checked the fuse for the washer pump? The fuse protects the electrical circuit of the pump.
