WASHER SYSTEM
The washer system components should be
inspected periodically, not just when washer perfor-
mance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Check for ice or other foreign material in the
washer reservoir. If contaminated, clean and flush
the washer system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING).
(2) Inspect the washer plumbing for pinched, leak-
ing, deteriorated, or incorrectly routed hoses and
damaged or disconnected hose fittings. Replace dam-
aged or deteriorated hoses and hose fittings. Leaking
washer hoses can sometimes be repaired by cutting
the hose at the leak and splicing it back together
using an in-line connector fitting. Similarly, sections
of deteriorated hose can be cut out and replaced by
splicing in new sections of hose using in-line connec-
tor fittings. Whenever routing a washer hose or a
wire harness containing a washer hose, it must be
routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts. Also,
sharp bends that might pinch the washer hose must
be avoided.
FRONT CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
A front washer system check valve is standard
equipment on this model. The front check valve is
integral to the front washer nozzle plumbing wye fit-
ting located in the cowl plenum beneath the cowl ple-
num cover/grille panel near the base of the
windshield. The check valve consists of a molded
plastic body with a round center section. Three
barbed hose nipples are formed in a wye configura-
tion on the outside circumference of the center sec-
tion of the valve body. Within the check valve body, a
small check valve operated by a small coiled spring
restricts flow through the unit until the valve is
unseated by a predetermined inlet fluid pressure.
The front check valve cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The front check valve provides more than one func-
tion in this application. It serves as a wye connector
fitting between the cowl grille panel and washer noz-
zle sections of the front washer supply hose. It also
prevents washer fluid from draining out of the front
washer supply hoses back to the washer reservoir.
This drain-back would result in a lengthy delay from
when the front washer switch is actuated until
washer fluid was dispensed through the front washer
nozzles, because the front washer pump would have
to refill the front washer plumbing from the reservoir
to the nozzles. Finally, the front check valve prevents
washer fluid from siphoning through the front
washer nozzles after the front washer system is
turned Off. When the front washer pump pressurizes
and pumps washer fluid from the reservoir through
the front washer plumbing, the fluid pressure over-
rides the spring pressure applied to the check valve
and unseats the valve, allowing washer fluid to flow
toward the front washer nozzles. When the front
washer pump stops operating, spring pressure seats
the check valve and fluid flow in either direction
within the front washer plumbing is prevented.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms from the wiper pivots.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/FRONT WIPER ARMS - REMOVAL).
(3) Open the hood and pull the hood to plenum
seal off of the forward flanges of the cowl grille cover
and the plenum panel.

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the front washer pump/motor through the
front washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
front washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer
hose or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it
must be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving
parts; and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose
must be avoided.
FRONT WASHER NOZZLE
DESCRIPTION
The two front washer nozzles have integral snap
features that secure them in dedicated holes in the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel located near the base
of the windshield. The domed upper surface of the
washer nozzle is visible on the top of the plenum cov-
er/grille panel, and the nozzle orifice is oriented
towards the windshield glass. The washer plumbing
fittings for the washer nozzles are concealed beneath
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. These fluidic
washer nozzles are constructed of molded plastic. The
cowl plenum cover/grille panel must be removed from
the vehicle to access the nozzles for service. The
washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dis-
pense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the
outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer
fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir
by the front washer pump/motor through a single
hose, which is attached to a barbed nipple on each
front washer nozzle below the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel. The washer nozzles incorporate a fluidic
design, which causes the nozzle to emit the pressur-
ized washer fluid as an oscillating stream to more
effectively cover a larger area of the glass area to be
cleaned.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms from the wiper pivots.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-
