Lexus LX Washer Fluid Warning

I'm having an issue with my 2012 Lexus LX diesel. It has about 131000 km on it. I’m getting a 'Washer fluid low' warning even though the reservoir is full, and the windshield washer system isn't working. There's also an error stored. Could this be a faulty washer motor? What can I do to diagnose it before replacing anything?

The 'Washer fluid low' warning, a non-functional windshield washer system, and a stored error suggest the washer motor or its wiring might be the problem. Have you checked the spray jets for blockages? Also, confirm voltage is reaching the pump when activated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the spray jets, and they're clear. How do I test the voltage reaching the pump? I know basic electrical testing but need guidance for this system.

Since the jets are clear and you're getting a persistent error with the low fluid warning, and the pump isn't working, the pump itself is likely the issue. You can test the voltage, but the diagnosis points towards internal failure. It might be best to get a professional diagnosis at a workshop before replacing parts.

Thanks for the help. I took it to a workshop, and it was the washer pump. The replacement and labor cost 25€. It's working now, and the error is gone.
