What does this fault code mean?
The ECM has requested that the engine be shut off automatically. The fault is linked to the fuel volume and fuel pressure control valves, and fault code ECM-1563 is set alongside it.
Possible causes
- Damaged fuel volume control valve
- Damaged fuel pressure control valve
What you can do
- 1Read out the fault codes and trace any other stored codes first
- 2The fuel system is under very high pressure and can cause injury. Have a workshop carry out checks on the fuel valves and fuel lines
- 3Switch off the ignition and check the connectors to both control valves for play, contact resistance and oxidation
- 4With a multimeter, check that the signal wires to the control valves have no break and are not shorted to ground or voltage
- 5If the code returns after clearing and test driving, although the wiring is intact, have a workshop replace the control valve
Symptoms you may notice3
- Check engine light comes on or behaves abnormally
- The engine lacks power
- Warning symbol and a text message in the display
What the fault can affect1
- Engine torque is limited
