DOOR / HATCH: FUEL LID OPENER SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. FUEL LID OPENER COMPONENTS





2. FUEL LID OPENER SYSTEM FUNCTION

(a) When the fuel lid opener switch is pressed, a fuel lid open request signal is sent to the ECM, and the fuel lid opener motor assembly actuates to open the fuel lid.

HINT
When the fuel tank internal pressure exceeds 1.76 kPa (0.02 kgf*cm2, 0.3 psi), the fuel vapor containment valve is used to release the pressure. If the fuel tank internal pressure is 4.0 kPa (0.04 kgf*cm2, 0.6 psi) or more, "PLEASE WAIT NOW OPENING" is displayed on the multi-information display. If the fuel tank internal pressure is greater than 1.76 kPa (0.02 kgf*cm2, 0.3 psi), the multi-information display will not change to the following screen until the fuel tank internal pressure drops to 1.76 kPa (0.02 kgf*cm2, 0.3 psi), at which point the multi-information display will show "REFUEL READY".

NOTICE:
* If the fuel tank pressure sensor or fuel vapor containment valve is malfunctioning, the fuel lid will not open.
* If the fuel lid courtesy switch is malfunctioning, "CLOSE FUEL LID" may be displayed on the multi-information display even if the fuel lid is closed.
