XC60 Washer Fluid Low Warning

I have a 2018 Volvo XC60 diesel with 107436 km on the clock, and I'm getting a persistent 'Washer fluid low' warning. The windshield washer system no longer works. I've checked the reservoir, and it's definitely full. I even tried topping it off just to be sure. The error is also stored in the error memory. Anyone else experienced this?

A 2018 Volvo XC60 owner experienced a persistent 'Washer fluid low' warning despite the reservoir being full, and the windshield washer system was non-functional. The issue was identified as a faulty level sensor in the reservoir, which caused the system to shut down. Replacing the sensor resolved the problem, restoring the washer system's functionality.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I've had a similar issue with my XC60. Does the pump make any noise when you try to use the washers?

No, the pump is silent. I thought the pump might be faulty, but with the warning light, I guessed that it might be linked somehow, like the car thinks that there isn't enough wiper water, so it shut down the pump until it is refilled.

Okay, that sounds exactly like what happened to mine. I was hoping it was just a fuse, but it ended up being a faulty level sensor in the reservoir that was causing the system to shut down. I would recommend getting it checked out by a professional because messing with those systems can throw even more errors.

Thanks for the info. I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on - it was the level sensor. Replaced it for 25€ and now it's working perfectly again.
