Good to know. I don't think I'm competent enough to remove front bumper and be able to put that back correctly!

you don't need to remove the bumper to be able ot get to the washer tank in the sorento. remove the underengine cover like you need to do for an oil change, or remove the passenger side inner fender which is with a bunch of body clips and 3 screws

Anybody know the capacity of the tank?
Didn't see it in the online manual

Not a sientific answer, but slightly more then a gallon.

when it gets to the low warning, i'm able ot put in a full gallon without it spilling outl

i'm trying to remember if my 2012 LX had a low washer warning. i know my 2016 EX has it. it might be something that the LX doesn't have, or it might be country specific.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the sensor is either gone or not hooked up as before I bought it it looked like this

It might be unavailable on the LX. Someone else would have to chime in that has one to confirm if it's there or not.

If you only have 1 cable/plug heading to the washer tank then all you have is the pump. if you have a second cable/plug heading to the washer tank then you shoudl have a fluid level sensor. that would be the only way to check. As i mentioned before, either remove the underengine cover or remove the inner fender so you can see the tank and confirm if it has the 2 plugs or only the 1.

you need to remove either the under engine cover (belly pan, skid plate, whatever you want to call it) OR the wheel liner. either or will give you access to the washer tank.
