Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation
Windshield Washer Reservoir - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure, on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of washer fluid for operation of the front and rear washer
systems. The washer reservoir filler neck provides a clearly marked and readily accessible point from which to add washer fluid to the reservoir.
The washer/pump motor unit is located in a sump area near the bottom of the reservoir to be certain that washer fluid will be available to the pump as the
fluid level in the reservoir becomes depleted. The washer fluid level switch is mounted just above the sump area of the reservoir so that there will be
adequate warning to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid level is low, before the front washer system will no longer operate. The Electro mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) is programmed to suppress rear washer system operation upon illumination of the low washer fluid indicator so that the front
washers can remain operational until the fluid level can be replenished.
