Sequoia Fuel Flap Release Issue

Has anyone experienced issues with the fuel flap release on a 2007 Toyota Sequoia with a gasoline engine? Mine has about 141,876 kilometers, and the error memory shows a fault. I can't lock or unlock the fuel filler flap, and some other functions are unavailable. Could this be the fuel door actuator or cable release?

Summary of the thread

A 2007 Toyota Sequoia owner experienced issues with the fuel flap release, unable to lock or unlock the fuel filler flap, possibly due to a fault in the fuel door actuator or cable release. Another individual with a similar problem suggested checking the electric actuator for jamming or disconnection. The issue was confirmed to be a defective linkage, which was repaired at a cost of 210€.

I had a similar issue with my Sequoia. Check the electric actuator; sometimes it gets jammed, or the linkage gets disconnected. Is the release button inside the car doing anything at all?

When you had this issue, were you able to manually override the fuel door release, or was it completely inoperable? Did you notice any specific conditions that seemed to trigger the problem?

Mine was totally stuck. Couldn't get it open any way I tried. Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop; messing with fuel systems can be tricky.

The linkage was indeed defective, as suspected. The repair cost came to 210€, including parts and labor. Appreciate the advice!
