2. Locate the front check valve in the washer supply hose for the front washer nozzle. The check valve is installed in the washer supply hose about 5 centimeters (2 inches) from the front washer nozzle nipple near the rear hood panel reinforcement.
3. Disconnect the washer supply hose for the front washer nozzle from the barbed outlet nipple on the front washer system check valve. A small quantity of washer fluid may drain from the disconnected hose.
