DTC Descriptor
DTC P04B6 00
- Fuel Fill Door Stuck Closed

Circuit/System Description

The hybrid powertrain control module 2 monitors the voltage values of the fuel fill door open request wake-up signal circuit and the fuel door request signal circuit. When the refuel request switch is pressed, the two switch contacts close. This provide B+ to the Wake-up Circuit input of the hybrid powertrain control module 2 and lowers the voltage on the fuel door request signal circuit input to the hybrid powertrain control module 2. The hybrid powertrain control module 2 detects the voltage on the signal circuits and commands the fuel system to vent and sends a serial data message to the driver information center to display the Wait to Refuel message. The hybrid powertrain control module 2 then energizes the fuel door lock/unlock actuator to unlock the fuel door.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The hybrid powertrain control module 2 is awake
* The fuel tank is being filled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
