Reset low washer fluid on a 2010 Chevy Malibu

The simplest checks to do are as follows.
1. Check the power steering fluid level. A low level creates heavy steering.
2. Check the fuses. Some Electronic power steering systems have fuses fitted to protect the electronics in the pump. A blown fuse turns the pump off.
If the fluid is low check for leaks in the system. If the fuse has blown there could be a reason for it blowing.

With a Hammer. No, seriously, it should reset just by it gauging the fluid level. If it doesn't, then it is probably just stuck, and needs a little help. Hitting on the tank with something like a rubber mallet should do the trick.

They are either in the trunk or behind the glove box insert.

Six-speed automatic transmission is available with both four-cylinder and V-6 engines in a 2009 Chevy Malibu. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

did you try to remove the battery cables for 3 min?....doing this will reset it.

It sounds like the brake fluid reservoir is low on fluid

If the brake light it on it is generally because you are low on brake fluid.

Either the resivoir is low of fluid or the sensor is stuck down or defective. Inspect the fluid level sensor.

Are there any indication lights on? For Example, check engine light, low washer fluid light, abs light. If any of those are on afetr the car has turned on, that could be the case.

This can be VERY expensive I would first contact GM customer assitance the phone number should be in your owners manual.Maybe depending on your milage they will split the cost with you.I worked 20 plus years for GM and they helped alot my customers.
