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

- Poor or corroded connector at the valveCommon
- Faulty fuel shutoff valve or solenoidCommon
- Failed ECM (rare)Less often
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.
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.
