Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A washer fluid indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area below and
to the left of the speedometer needle hub. This indicator is located within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the washer fluid indicator in the odometer VFD is
electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided by the EVIC. The washer fluid indicator consists of the text LOWASH,
which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower
edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The washer fluid indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information
when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The washer fluid indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
