P04CCFuel Fill Door Open Request Sensor/Switch Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- On plug-in hybrids with a sealed, pressurised tank, pressing the fuel button (open request) starts a refuelling mode: the module opens the tank valve, releases the pressure into the charcoal canister and only then unlocks the filler door via an electric actuator (Ford patent). P04CC means the button signal is sporadic or implausible – a bouncing button or a loose contact. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code; the description follows CARB's rules for input and output components and patents on the door actuator.
