BR V washer fluid sensor issue

I've got a 2019 Honda BR-V with a gasoline engine and about 156,000 km on the clock. Recently, I've been getting a 'washer fluid low' warning, even when the reservoir is full. I've checked the error memory and there's a stored error related to the windshield washer system. Now, the windshield washer system no longer works. I suspect the wiper water level sensor, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before I start tearing things apart.

A 2019 Honda BR-V owner experienced a persistent 'washer fluid low' warning despite a full reservoir, and the windshield washer system stopped functioning. The issue was suspected to be related to the wiper water level sensor. After checking the spray jets and confirming they were clear, the owner took the vehicle to a shop where the fluid level sensor was identified as the problem. Replacing the sensor resolved the issue, restoring the system's functionality.

I have a BR-V too. I had something similar happen a while back. Have you checked if the spray jets are blocked? Sometimes, debris can clog them up and cause the system to malfunction. It might be worth a look before you go digging deeper.

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check the spray jets, and they seem clear. I even tried cleaning them with a needle just in case. Still no luck. Was your issue also throwing an error code, and did your windshield washer system completely stop working?

Yes, the system stopped completely, and it did throw an error. If you have already checked the jets, I would recommend visiting a workshop to check the error memory. The fluid level sensor might be the issue.

Thanks for confirming! I appreciate the insight. I ended up taking it to a local shop. Turns out it was indeed the fluid level sensor in the washer reservoir. Replaced it for 25€ and the system is working perfectly again!
