Toyota CHR Washer Motor Failure

Hi, I've got a 2022 Toyota CHR with a gasoline engine and around 105k km on the clock. Recently, the washer fluid low warning popped up, and now the windshield washer system is completely dead. I've scanned the error memory and there's an error stored related to it. Wiper water level is fine. Any ideas before I start digging deeper?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my old Peugeot 208. Washer fluid warning and then nothing. Did you check the spray jets aren't blocked? That was my problem once.

Thanks for the tip! I'll double check, but if the jets were blocked, wouldn't the washer motor still make a noise? I'm getting absolutely nothing.

Good point. In my case the motor was humming but no fluid coming out. Since you get nothing, it might be the pump itself. I'd suggest a workshop visit – could be a faulty washer motor or wiring.

Appreciate the advice! Turns out the washer motor was indeed shot. Replaced it for 25€ and all is well again.
