Pressing the fuel door release switch provides an input signal to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster sends a Class 2 serial data message to the body control module (PZM). The PZM internally grounds connector C2 terminal C12, which grounds CKT 93 (WHT) if the following conditions are present:

    • The transaxle is in the PARK position.
    • The valet switch is closed.

Power is supplied through the following components to the now-grounded CKT 93 (WHT):

    • The RADIO/PHONE fuse
    • CKT 40 (ORN)
    • The coil of the fuel door release relay

The relay coil energizes and closes the relay contacts.

Power is supplied from the CONVENIENCE fuse through the following components:

    • CKT 2040 (ORN)
    • The now-closed relay contacts
    • CKT 79 (PNK)
    • The fuel door release solenoid

The solenoid energizes and the fuel door latch assembly releases the fuel door.
