Causes

  • Open or broken wiring in FSV B circuit
  • Corroded/loose connector or terminals at the valve or ECM
  • Faulty Fuel Shutoff Valve B (open coil or internal failure)
  • Blown fuse, faulty relay, or loss of power/ground to the circuit
  • Short or high resistance between valve and ECM (intermittent connection)
  • ECM driver output fault or internal ECM failure

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) / Check Engine light illuminated
  • Engine cranks but may not start or hard starting
  • Engine stalls or shuts down unexpectedly
  • Reduced/absent fuel pressure or fuel supply to injectors
  • No change after attempted key cycling or remote shutoff

What to check

  • Retrieve freeze frame and related codes; note key-on and engine state
  • Visual inspection of wiring and connectors at FSV B and ECM for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion
  • Check relevant fuses and relays for the fuel shutoff circuit
  • Backprobe the valve connector to verify voltage/ground while commanding the valve
  • Measure valve coil resistance with connector disconnected and compare to spec
  • Wiggle test harness while monitoring signal to reproduce intermittent faults

Signal parameters

  • Control type: low-side switch (ECM grounds) or high-side depending on vehicle — verify service manual
  • Expected coil resistance: typically single-digit to tens of ohms (example 5–40 Ω) — use OEM spec
  • Key ON (engine off) supply: ~12 V present to valve supply pin (if valve is supply-side powered)
  • Commanded state: ECM should switch control pin between ~0 V (grounded) and open/high; confirm with scope/voltmeter
  • Open-circuit condition: infinite/very high resistance or no continuity between valve and ECM

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Read and record all stored codes and freeze-frame data. Clear codes and attempt to reproduce.
  2. Visually inspect connectors, pins, and harness for damage, corrosion, or signs of arcing at FSV B and along the harness to the ECM.
  3. With ignition OFF, disconnect the FSV B connector and measure valve coil resistance across the valve terminals. Compare to OEM specification. An open (OL) reading indicates a failed valve.
  4. With connector disconnected, check continuity between the valve connector and the ECM control pin. Repair any open wiring.
  5. With backprobe and ignition ON, verify that the valve supply (if present) has battery voltage and that the ECM control line changes state (ground or switched voltage) when commanded (use scan tool to command if possible).
  6. If no command is present but wiring is good, check fuses and relays feeding the circuit. Replace faulty components.
  7. If wiring and supply are OK and ECM does not command correctly, use a scope to examine the control waveform for short/high-side failures or abnormal drive characteristics.
  8. As a bench test, apply appropriate voltage to the valve coil briefly to confirm valve operation (observe safe shop practices and vehicle-specific procedure). Do not run valve continuously without proper current limiting.
  9. Repair or replace damaged wiring/connectors or replace the fuel shutoff valve if confirmed faulty. If ECM output is suspected after verifying wiring and valve, consult OEM for ECM testing/replacement procedures.
  10. Clear codes and road-test to verify repair. Re-scan for pending codes.

Likely causes

  • Damaged or disconnected connector at FSV B
  • Failed valve coil (open)
  • Broken or chafed wiring between valve and ECM
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the valve
  • ECM output/transistor failure (less common)

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Fuel Shutoff Valve B Control Circuit/Open — ECM detects an open or interrupted electrical circuit to Fuel Shutoff Valve B preventing proper control.
