Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the engine computer detected a problem with the engine shutoff (fuel cutoff) solenoid, which controls whether fuel reaches the engine. A fault can prevent the engine from starting or cause it to stall, and it often points to a bad solenoid, wiring problems, or a control module issue. Repairs usually involve testing the solenoid circuit and replacing the solenoid or repairing the wiring.
$150 – $500
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
It's risky. The engine can stall without warning or fail to start, which is unsafe in traffic. Limit driving and get it diagnosed as soon as you can.
Repairs usually fall between $150 and $500, depending on whether it's a wiring repair or a solenoid replacement. Diesel systems can run higher due to part costs and labor.
Yes, it can be. Because it affects fuel delivery, it may cause stalling or no-start conditions, both of which can leave you stranded, so it should be addressed quickly.
The shutoff solenoid controls whether fuel reaches the engine. If it's stuck closed or has lost power, the engine gets no fuel and won't start until the fault is fixed.
