Lexus LX Fuel Flap Issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2018 Lexus LX diesel. The fuel flap won't open! I get an error message, and it's totally locked shut. Also, some random other functions seem to be acting up now too. I've checked the key fob, and that's not the problem. Anyone else run into this?

I have a similar Lexus LX, and I recall encountering a comparable situation. Is there any chance that the error memory has stored something?

Yeah, the error memory definitely has something stored. The error is directly related to the fuel flap. Did you get the same error, and what did you end up doing about it?

Indeed, it appears to be the same. Considering the stored error, I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a trusted repair shop for a thorough diagnostic assessment.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! I took it to the shop, and you were right. Turns out it was the electric actuator, and the linkage was defective. Cost me 210€ to get it sorted!
