RAV4 washer fluid warning

I've got a weird issue with my 2011 Toyota RAV4 diesel. I keep getting a 'Washer fluid low' warning, even though the reservoir is full. The windshield washer system isn't working either, and there are error logs. It's done 104193 km. Could something else be causing this?

Sounds like a blockage. Have you checked the spray jets for debris? Or maybe the washer motor is dead.

How do I check the washer motor? What should I look for to know if it's failed?

If you don't hear any sound from it when you try to spray, that's a bad sign. Honestly, messing with the motor is like open-heart surgery for your car's wiper system. Best to get it checked out by a workshop.

I took it to a local mechanic. Turns out the wiper water level was just low, causing the error. They topped it up and cleared the codes. It works now. Cost 25€.
