Lexus ES washer fluid warning

My 2000 Lexus ES with a gasoline engine keeps showing a low washer fluid warning, even though the reservoir seems full. The windshield washer system isn't working at all. Any ideas?

Hmm, that's odd. Just to be clear, when you say the system isn't working, do you mean absolutely nothing comes out when you try to use the windshield washers? Like, no sound from the pump or anything? Have you checked the spray jets themselves to see if they're clogged? Sometimes a little debris can block them.

Yeah, nothing at all. No sound from the pump. Where exactly are the spray jets? I'll take a look.

Okay, no pump sound is key info. The spray jets are usually located on the hood or cowl, right near the windshield. Little nozzles, basically. If they're not clogged, and the pump isn't making any noise, it might be an electrical issue or the pump itself has failed. Also, there is an error stored in the error memory. You should go to the workshop.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out it was just low on wiper fluid. I filled it up and it cost me 25€. All good now.
