Fuel Flap Latch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel flap locking motor is incorporated into the housing of the fuel flap. The flap is locked by a pin operated by a fuel flap locking motor on the fuel flap housing. Operation of the fuel flap locking motor is controlled by the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) via a hardwired connection. The BCM/GWM also reverses the polarity of the motor power and ground connections. This provides the pin movement in both directions for locking and unlocking of the fuel flap.

When unlocked, the fuel flap is pushed in to release off the hinge retention mechanism and then manually opened to gain access to the fuel filler cap. Pushing the flap in to close the flap engages the hinge retention mechanism to allow the flap to remain closed. The fuel flap is locked when the vehicle is exterior locked and/or the vehicle is armed.
