Fuel Shutoff Valve A Control Circuit High
What it means
P0007 means the ECM sees higher-than-expected voltage on the control circuit for fuel shutoff valve "A" — the valve that controls whether fuel reaches the engine. Because it sits in the fuel-delivery path, a fault here can cause hard starting, stalling, or a no-start. The cause is usually an open or short in the control wiring rather than the valve itself.
Can I keep driving? Possibly not — a fuel shutoff valve fault can interrupt fuel delivery, so the engine may stall or refuse to start; get it checked promptly.
Real-world scan data
Figures reflect only diagnostic scans recorded through our own apps and tools. Cars are typically scanned because a symptom or warning light prompted it, so these counts describe our scan records — not the incidence of faults in any model, and not the quality, reliability, or safety of any vehicle.

How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Read freeze-frame data and inspect the valve connector and wiring for damage or corrosion.
- Check the control circuit for opens and shorts with a multimeter.
- Test the shutoff valve/solenoid resistance against spec; replace if out of range.
- Verify power and ground to the circuit.
- If the wiring and valve are good, suspect the ECM. Clear and retest.
