[ ] Funnel dedicated to washer fluid [ ] Clean cloth [ ] Windshield washer fluid suitable for your local conditions OBSERVE & RECORD Observation date: __________ Vehicle / equipment confirmed: __________ Record the actual tank and product, before level and whether spray reached the glass after closure. Washer-fluid product and suitable conditions: __________ Level before refill: __________ | Choices: Low; Adequate; Unreadable Parked spray after refill: __________ | Choices: Reaches glass; Absent; Weak or uneven; Not tested Cap fit, spill or visible leakage: __________ Before care: __________ STEPS 1.

[ ] Read the level through the reservoir if your vehicle has no level sensor; if equipped, note the low-washer indication. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=374 | PDF page 374 3. [ ] If the identified washer reservoir is low, open only its cap and pour appropriate washer fluid carefully without overflowing. If its level is adequate, leave it closed. Keep engine antifreeze and vinegar mixtures out of this tank. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=374 | PDF page 374 4. [ ] Close the cap and wipe up any spill.

[ ] If spray remains absent, stop repeated attempts and arrange washer-system inspection rather than replacing a pump on assumption. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=128 | PDF page 128 6. [ ] Record the actual tank and product, before level and whether spray reached the glass after closure. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/A5A1515OM/enu/A5A1515OM.pdf#page=128 | PDF page 128 DECISION CHECKS Is the washer reservoir identified, and is the selected product windshield washer fluid? Yes — ready for this check → Continue with the steps, stopping if the real component differs from the manual. Not yet / not sure → Preparation saved. Return when the condition is confirmed; leave the vehicle untouched. Fluid went into the wrong reservoir or you see a leak → Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked. What happened at the brief washer check? Reservoir capped and washer spray reaches the glass → Did fluid reach the glass, with the correct tank capped and no leak observed? Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked. → Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked. I have only prepared the plan → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. Did fluid reach the glass, with the correct tank capped and no leak observed? Spray reaches glass; correct tank and secure cap → Reservoir capped and washer spray reaches the glass The observation or repeat check is still incomplete → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. No spray, leaking tank or wrong fluid/reservoir → Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked. RECHECK Does spray remain effective at the next permitted use, or does fluid disappear or leakage appear? After care: __________ Retest: not checked / improved / unchanged / worse If an earlier condition changes, reassess the later checks and result. RESULT CHECK What happened at the brief washer check? Reservoir capped and washer spray reaches the glass Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired. Did fluid reach the glass, with the correct tank capped and no leak observed? Does spray remain effective at the next permitted use, or does fluid disappear or leakage appear? STOP CONDITIONS Fluid went into the wrong reservoir or you see a leak Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked. A part, label, connector or fastener differs from the cited manual; access requires raising the vehicle; you cannot identify the correct component. SERVICE HANDOFF Take the recorded observations, their dates and any actual work history to the service provider. Wrong reservoir, leakage or no spray after filling: stop and get the system checked.
