What is CID 109 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 109:

CID 109 refers to an issue with the fuel shutoff valve in the vehicle's fuel system. The ECM detects that the valve is malfunctioning, which can lead to fuel flow problems and may cause the engine to stall or fail to start.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty fuel shutoff valve.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring in the valve control circuit.
  
• Loose or corroded connectors.
  
• ECM failure to properly interpret the valve’s signal.
  
• Mechanical failure preventing the valve’s operation.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the fuel shutoff valve for visible damage or malfunction.
   
2. Test the valve for proper operation.
   
3. Check wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
   
4. Replace the faulty valve if necessary.
   
5. Ensure ECM is receiving proper signal from the valve.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the fuel shutoff valve and wiring.
  
• Perform routine checks of the valve and connectors.
  
• Ensure proper communication between the ECM and fuel shutoff valve.
  
• Clue’s fuel management services track fuel shutoff systems and prevent malfunctions before they affect engine operation.
