P0007

Fuel Shutoff Valve A Control Circuit High

Fuel & air metering Generic OBD-II 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.

High

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.

Common symptoms

What you'll notice

Common causes

Most likely first

  1. Open or short in the fuel shutoff valve control wiring (most common)
  2. Poor or corroded connector at the valve
  3. Faulty fuel shutoff valve or solenoid
  4. Failed ECM (rare)

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

  1. Read freeze-frame data and inspect the valve connector and wiring for damage or corrosion.
  2. Check the control circuit for opens and shorts with a multimeter.
  3. Test the shutoff valve/solenoid resistance against spec; replace if out of range.
  4. Verify power and ground to the circuit.
  5. If the wiring and valve are good, suspect the ECM. Clear and retest.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is it safe to drive with P0007?+
Be cautious. Because this valve controls fuel flow, a fault can cause stalling or a no-start, so it's best repaired before a long trip.
Can I just clear P0007?+
You can, but it will return until the wiring or valve is fixed. This is a circuit fault, not a nuisance code.
