Code result
P04C7
Fuel Fill Door Lock Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent or Erratic
Moderate severity
What it means
Same as P04C3 with intermittent feedback. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
