Caravan Washer Fluid Low Warning

I'm having an issue with my 2011 Nissan Caravan with a gasoline engine at 208866 km. I received a 'washer fluid low' warning, and the windshield washer system isn't working. The error memory indicates a fault. Could this be a low wiper water level?

Summary of the thread

The issue with the 2011 Nissan Caravan was a 'washer fluid low' warning and a non-functioning windshield washer system. The problem was initially suspected to be due to a low wiper water level, a blocked line, or a faulty sensor. After refilling the windshield washer reservoir, the system began working again, and the error was resolved, indicating that the low fluid level was the core issue.

I've got a Nissan Caravan myself. I had a similar problem a while back. Does the dashboard light come on immediately when you start the car, or does it take a little while? Have you checked the spray jets themselves? They might be clogged.

The dashboard light illuminates immediately. Is there a recommended way to inspect or clean the spray jets without causing damage?

Immediate light usually points to a sensor issue or a blocked line. Check if the jets are visibly gunked up. Use a needle or thin wire to gently clear any blockage. If that doesn't work, it might be a deeper issue within the reservoir or pump. I'd suggest a workshop at that point. They'll have the tools to diagnose it properly and clear blockages or replace faulty parts. Could be a faulty sensor, too.

I took it to a local workshop; the wiper water level was very low. After refilling the windshield washer reservoir, it works, and the error cleared. The repair cost was 25€. Thanks!
