Fuel flap release
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Land Rover Discovery, 2003 Land Rover Discovery, 2002 Land Rover Discovery, 2001 Land Rover Discovery, and 2000 Land Rover Discovery. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fuel flap release solenoid only operates when the ignition switch is switched off, the anti-theft system is not activated and the fuel flap release switch is pressed. If the BCU detects that these conditions have been satisfied, it provides a path to earth for the fuel flap solenoid, so allowing the fuel flap to be opened.
To decide the correct conditions for providing a fuel flap enable output, the BCU checks the following input conditions:
- Ignition state.
- Perimetric alarm state.
If the battery state is not normal, the electric fuel flap enable is switched off.
