Avensis Washer Fluid Warning and Pump Failure

Hi, I have a 2017 Toyota Avensis diesel with 70245 km. The washer fluid low warning is on, and the windshield washer system doesn't work. Error is also stored in the error memory. Wiper water level is ok, so what could it be?

A 2017 Toyota Avensis owner reported a washer fluid low warning and a non-functional windshield washer system, despite the fluid level being adequate. Possible causes discussed included blocked spray jets or a malfunctioning washer motor. The issue was resolved by replacing a faulty pump at a workshop.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hmm, strange that the warning light is on even with sufficient fluid. Are you sure the spray jets aren't blocked? Have you tried to hear if the washer motor is running when you try to activate the windshield washer system?

Blocked spray jets - how would I check that exactly? And where is the washer motor located? Just trying to get an idea before I take it in.

You can use a thin needle to check the jets. The washer motor is usually near the fluid reservoir, but given that it is not working and you're getting an error, it might be more than just a blockage. It's probably best to have it checked at a workshop.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the workshop; seems the pump was faulty. New pump and labor came to 25€. All sorted now.
