Parts

  • Fuel filler cap × 1 — Toyota OEM 77300-06110 or equivalent

Preparation

  1. Park vehicle on level surface and turn off engine
  2. Verify replacement cap is correct part number for your specific model year

Procedure

  1. 1
    Open fuel door
    Press the fuel door release button located on the lower left side of the driver's footwell, or manually push on the left rear side of the fuel door to open it.
  2. 2
    Remove old fuel cap
    Turn the fuel cap counterclockwise until it releases from the filler neck. The cap is tethered to the fuel door assembly and will remain attached.
  3. 3
    Inspect filler neck seal
    Check the rubber seal on the filler neck for damage, debris, or contamination. Clean with a dry cloth if needed.
  4. 4
    Install new fuel cap
    Align the new cap with the filler neck and turn clockwise until you hear at least 3 distinct clicks. This ensures proper seal engagement and prevents evaporative emissions system codes.
  5. 5
    Close fuel door
    Push the fuel door firmly closed until it latches. Verify it sits flush with the body panel.
