What is CID 27:

CID 27 refers to a problem with the fuel shutoff valve. The ECM detects that the valve is malfunctioning or not responding, which can lead to improper fuel flow and engine shutdown.

Why This Happens:

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

How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the fuel shutoff valve for visible damage or malfunction.
  2. Test the valve to ensure it is operating correctly.
  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 valve.
  • Clue’s fuel management services track fuel shutoff systems and prevent malfunctions before they affect engine operation.
