A single front washer system check valve is standard equipment on this model, and is installed in the front washer system plumbing. See Fig 1. The front check valve is integral to the front washer nozzle plumbing "Y" fitting located in the cowl plenum area beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel near the base of the windshield. The check valve consists of a molded plastic body with a raised arrowhead molded into its center section that indicates the direction of the flow through the valve, and three barbed hose nipples formed in a "Y" configuration on the outside circumference of the center section of the valve body. The front check valve cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
