Pinpoint Test Av: The Check Fuel Fill Inlet Message Is Inoperative/Always On

  1. AV1 CHECK THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAY OPERATION 
    • Close all doors and the luggage compartment lid.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Open the driver door and observe the message center.
    • Does the message center display DRIVER DOOR AJAR? 
  2. AV2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE PCM KOEO SELF-TEST 
    • Check for recorded PCM DTCs from the Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test.
    • Is DTC P0457 recorded? 
    • Yes:  If the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message is displayed, REFER to the ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) or INTRODUCTION - FUSION HYBRID AND MKZ HYBRID .

      If the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message is not displayed, GO to AV3.

    • No:  If the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message is always displayed, INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) . TEST the system for normal operation.

      If the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message is not displayed, the system is operating normally at this time. If the capless fuel fill inlet was open and the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message did not turn on, driving conditions may not have allowed for the PCM to run the cruise test and message the IPC to turn on the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message.
