Every time I corner really hard I get a washer fluid low level warning. Usually this means the washer tank needs to be refilled. So I went to fill the tank and it only took about 1/3 of a gallon. After the refill the warning persists. The windshield sprayer and headlamp sprayer work fine. I'm thinking it is either the level sensor in the rear tank or the pump that transfers the fluid to the front tank. It seems that the front level sensor is probably working because I'm getting the low fluid warning. What do you guys think? BTW I have noticed no leaks under the car in either tank area.

Also anyone know how hard it is to get at the rear tank/pump and level sensor?

 

If it is low, and you turn sharp a certain direction, the rear sensor could momentarily cavitate...Not sue why it is staying on...Must be faulty. I attached a PDF here for you that should help. Covers the entire WS Washer system pretty much.

Thanks for the reply Rock. My description was bad. The waning light is not stuck on it continues to come on with sharp corners even though the rear tank is full.
The pdf was a big help but the big question is how do you get at the rear tank/pump/sensor? Do you have to remove rear bumper cover? If so is it easily removed and put back on? BTW getting at the front tank is already covered in your meth/water injection DIY.

 

Hi...Yes, the rear bumper cover has to be removed to get to the tank.

Attached is the info. that should help.

Could be a dodgy electrical connection?
