Urvan Washer Fluid Sensor Issue

Hey, I'm having trouble with the windshield washer on my 2005 Nissan Urvan diesel. The low washer fluid light is on even though the reservoir is full, and the system isn't working. There's an error code stored, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my 2018 Skoda Octavia. The low washer fluid warning kept popping up. I checked the error logs and found an intermittent fault with the fluid level sensor. Can you check the sensor status? See if the value is stuck at minimum even when the reservoir is full.

Thanks! The Urvan's diagnostics aren't as advanced as your Skoda's. I can get error codes, but not real-time sensor data. Does a faulty sensor sound like the most likely cause?

Yep, sounds like a defective sensor. Especially since you've confirmed the fluid level and there's an error code. My sensor acted up for a while before it died completely. A new sensor isn't too expensive. I'd suggest having a mechanic check if replacing it fixes the problem. That's what I did with my Skoda.

Your advice was spot on! I took it to a mechanic, and it was the washer fluid level sensor. Replaced it for 25€, and now it's working perfectly. Thanks for the help!
