1st blew the guts w/compressed air, lubed the O-ring and rubber gasket below + outside plastic on the filler tube with silicone - no change. Next gently twisted the inner mechanism back and forth manually - no change.
Finally after a minimal quick spray w/ "Rem Oil" & twisting again -eventually worked. "Rem oil" (long time go to for everything shotguns) has teflon. Never had a check engine light, but loose gas caps tend to throw CEL.
As a precaution ordered a new one for 2015 model - genuine Toyota on Amazon.... Part #77300-06040, about $20
Below from Amazon (perfect fit & proper "click" ha ha)...........
