The locking and unlocking of the fuel door is a function of the power door lock system. The fuel door release actuator is supplied by the door lock signal circuit and the driver door unlock signal circuit which is switched through the fuel door relay. The fuel door relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the vehicles doors are unlocked, the body control module (BCM) will respond by applying voltage to the fuel door relay coil control circuit. This energizes the coil causing the switch contacts to close. With the switch contacts closed, the driver door unlock circuit supplies B+ or ground to the fuel door release actuator , unlocking the fuel door.
