Ignition on.
Instrument lighting

Activate the instrument lighting.

Check if the fault is permanent or intermittent.

The instrument lighting lights at full strength when activated.

The fault is permanent if the instrument lighting does not activate.

If the instrument lighting is activated, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i. e. the fault is intermittent.

Fuel tank filler cap

Activate fuel tank filler cap unlocking.

Check if the fault is permanent or intermittent.

The fuel tank filler cap clicks when it is activated.

The fault is permanent if the unlocking of the fuel tank filler cap does not activate.

If fuel tank filler cap unlocking is activated, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i. e. the fault is intermittent.
