Test F: The WASHER FLUID LOW LEVEL Warning Is Inoperative

PINPOINT TEST F: THE WASHER FLUID LOW LEVEL WARNING IS INOPERATIVE

Normal Operation
The instrument cluster (IC) is hardwired to the low washer fluid switch (part of the windshield washer reservoir) through circuit CMC20 (VT). The low washer fluid switch closes when the washer fluid level is approximately 1/3 full, providing a ground to the instrument cluster (IC) through circuit GD108 (BK/VT) and displaying the WASHER FLUID LOW LEVEL warning. When the washer fluid is above the low level, the low washer fluid switch opens, removing the ground to the instrument cluster (IC), and the WASHER FLUID LOW LEVEL warning turns off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Washer fluid level switch (part of the windshield washer reservoir)
- Instrument cluster (IC)
