What to tell the garage about P0007

Do not drive until checked. Fuel shut-off valve A’s control circuit is sitting high. The computer sees too much voltage on that command wire — the opposite electrical condition to P0006.

What does P0007 mean?

P0007 is a generic (SAE standard) powertrain code reported by your car’s engine control unit. It sits in the P00xx block, which covers fuel and air metering. The stored description is “Fuel Shutoff Valve 'A' Control Circuit High”. The code itself tells you which circuit or system tripped the fault — not always the exact part that failed.

Will P0007 fail an MOT?

An illuminated engine management light is a Major MOT fail until the lamp stays off. P0007 flags a high control circuit on shut-off valve A, not a turbo or oxygen-sensor heater fault.
