Fuel flap actuator

The BCU provides an earth path to the fuel flap release solenoid to allow the fuel filler flap to be opened. This is only allowed if the alarm system is not set and all other conditions have been satisfied. The fuel flap release switch is located in the fascia switch pack on vehicles up to 2003 model year or in the instrument pack binnacle on vehicles from 2003 model year. The switch receives a voltage supply from the passenger compartment fuse box.
