Front Check Valve Replacement

Front Check Valve Replacement
REMOVAL
1. Open and support the hood.

2. Locate the front check valve in the washer supply hose for each front washer nozzle. A check valve is installed between the molded plastic tee fitting and each nozzle near the rear hood panel reinforcement.
3. Disconnect the nozzle half of the washer supply hose from the barbed nipple on the front washer system check valve. A small quantity of washer fluid may drain from the disconnected hose.
4. Disconnect the engine compartment half of the washer supply hose from the other barbed nipple of the front check valve. Either install a temporary plug in the engine compartment half of the supply hose or secure the loose end of this hose at a point higher than the washer reservoir to prevent the contents of the washer reservoir from draining through this hose.
5. Remove the front check valve from the engine compartment.

INSTALLATION
1. Position the front check valve in the engine compartment.
