Circuit Description:
The fuel shutoff valve is a device used by the engine control module (ECM) to control the engine fuel supply. When the
ECM energizes the engine fuel shutoff valve driver circuit, the engine fuel shutoff valve is opened. Zero voltage to the
engine fuel shutoff valve will close the engine fuel shutoff valve.

Component Location:
The fuel shutoff valve is located on the fuel delivery housing, below the air inlet horn.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics:


This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes:


The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected that the fuel pressure did not drop after the fuel shutoff valve was
commanded off.
