Creta Washer Fluid Warning

I'm having a weird issue with my 2016 Hyundai Creta diesel. The washer fluid low warning keeps popping up, even though the reservoir is full! The windshield washer system no longer works at all. I've checked the fluid level multiple times, and it's definitely not low. I even tried cleaning the spray jets with a needle, but no luck. Could it be the washer motor? Or is there some kind of sensor issue throwing things off?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Hyundai Creta diesel owner experienced a persistent washer fluid low warning despite the reservoir being full, and the windshield washer system was non-functional. The issue was suspected to be either a faulty washer motor or a sensor problem. After consulting with others, it was suggested to check the error memory for stored errors, which required a diagnostic tool. Upon visiting a workshop, the problem was identified as a faulty sensor in the washer fluid reservoir, which was replaced to resolve the issue.

I had a similar problem with my Creta. It's like your car thinks it's always thirsty, right? Check the error memory, there might be a stored error related to the wiper system. Could be a faulty sensor or a blockage somewhere in the line.

Thanks! Where exactly is the error memory located? And how would I go about checking it? Is that something I can do myself, or do I need special tools?

You'll need a diagnostic tool to read the error codes. Best to head to a workshop; they can pinpoint the exact problem. It might be something simple, but without the right equipment, you're just guessing.

Thanks a lot for your help! Took it to the shop and it turned out to be a faulty sensor in the washer fluid reservoir. New sensor, 25€, and all is good again! Really appreciate the advice to check the error memory; that helped the mechanic find the issue quickly.
