Is it possible to add the lower washer fluid sensor to the US Model TSX? I know they have it in Canada, but I can't imagine why it would be a hard retrofit for the US model.

Acccording to the service manual, the fluid level switch sends a signal to the driver side MICU which is built into the driver side fuse/repay box. So the canadian version probably has a different software in the MICU (i presume it is a programmable unit).

Check if the fluid reservoir has an unused wire harness (2-prong) that connects to the reservoir switch.

The washer fluid reservoir is also larger in the canadian model (4.5 litres vs. 2.5 litres). I guess it's canadian regulations that mandate that.

check visually fluid level every few months....

Amazes me how the populace of this country is obsessed with idiot lites....

Even if I check every few months, with one other person driving the car happens to get washer happy because of some bugs.....no fluid for me. I'm more surprised that they couldn't add this simple feature to all the models....especially on a car that costs 30k+

Wow I did not know the washer tank size would be different. I must say I do like a large washer tank.I guess ours are larger because up how bad the road spray can be in the winter.

yea the larger tank and sensor is awesome and came in super handy during winter... but i would trade that for acura link up in canada anyday...

wait, so the TSX doesn't tell you when your washer fluid is low, in the US?

I'm with this guy. Jesus, open the friggin hood once and a while and fill the tank. Why wait till it runs out or some stupid light comes on? Just make it a habit like any other weekly or bi-weekly chore.
