Default Washer Fluid sensor - in pump?

While working on the intermittent starting problem with my 99 XJ8, I decided to take a break to address the washer fluid low message that I get, even though the reservoir is full.

I pulled out the fluid bottle but could not find any electrical connections other than to the pump. There didn't appear to be a separate level sensor.

Is the low fluid level message generated by the pump?

Thanks for any insight
Steven.

According to the workshop manual, step 7 in the windshield washer reservoir removal process is "7. Disconnect Low Level indicator multiplug."

Here is a JPEG file that includes Wiring Diagram and photos (Windshield Wiper Pump and its Sensor):



Here is another image file showing the Parts diagram:



Here is the weblink to the Parts Diagram:

Screenwash System - Parts For XJ Series from (V)812317 to (V)F59525 (X308) | Jaguar Heritage Parts UK

Gaudin Jaguar .com seems to have the lowest price for new pump - LJA7031AB - $101.73 ($86.78 + 14.95 shipping).
