Pixo Fuel Flap Fault

I own a 2009 Nissan Pixo with a gasoline engine. Recently, the fuel flap release has stopped working. The error memory shows a stored error, and locking or unlocking the fuel filler flap is no longer possible. Furthermore, some vehicle functions are unavailable. Could this be a linkage issue?

Summary of the thread

The 2009 Nissan Pixo's fuel flap release stopped working, with an error stored in the memory and some vehicle functions unavailable. The issue was suspected to be a linkage problem but was later identified as a faulty actuator. Replacing the actuator resolved the problem.

I had a similar issue with my Pixo. Have you checked the key fob battery? Sometimes a weak battery can cause issues with the central locking system, which might affect the fuel flap release.

Thank you for the suggestion. I replaced the key fob battery, but the problem persists. Could you elaborate on whether you experienced similar symptoms beyond just the fuel flap not opening?

Yes, I experienced similar symptoms. The central locking was acting up intermittently. Eventually, I took it to a workshop, and they diagnosed a faulty actuator. It's probably best to get it checked by a professional.

Thank you for the advice. I had it checked, and it was indeed a faulty actuator. The repair cost was 210€. Your input was most helpful.
