The actuator is triggered and the fuel filler flap opens when the fuel filler flap switch is pressed. Pressing the fuel filler flap door itself or the fuel filler flap switch again will close the fuel filler flap once it has been opened. Though it is a very simple component, the fuel filler flap actuator plays a crucial role in making sure the gasoline filler flap opens and shuts correctly. Refueling the car may be challenging or impossible if the fuel filler flap actuator malfunctions, causing the fuel filler flap to malfunction and not open or close correctly.

The following are some signs of a malfunctioning gasoline filler flap actuator :
When the gasoline filler flap switch is depressed, the fuel filler flap stays closed.
Attempts to close the gasoline filler flap by pressing the fuel filler flap door or switch are met with failure.
When the fuel filler flap opens or closes, a sound is produced.
Both the fuel filling flap and its closure are jammed.
