P2665 — Fuel Shutoff Valve B Control Circuitopen

Manufacturer-specificPowertrain (engine & transmission)

P2665 indicates that the control circuit for the fuel shutoff valve B has an open circuit, meaning the PCM is not receiving a proper signal from the valve's control circuit. This can prevent the valve from opening and allow fuel flow.

Symptoms

What causes it — most likely first

1. Failed fuel shutoff valve B

The valve itself may be internally open or shorted, breaking the control circuit and triggering the code.

2. Open or damaged wiring to valve B

A broken wire, chafed insulation, or loose terminal in the harness can interrupt the signal from the PCM.

3. Corroded or loose connector at the valve

Poor contact at the connector can create an open circuit even if the valve and wiring are otherwise sound.

4. Blown fuse or faulty fuel pump relay

If the circuit's fuse or relay fails, power to the valve control circuit is lost, resulting in an open condition.

5. PCM output driver failure

A rare internal fault in the PCM's driver circuit can present as an open circuit, but this is typically the last suspect.

How it's diagnosed

  1. Confirm P2665 using a scan tool and check for related codes or freeze frame data.
  2. Visually inspect the wiring harness and connector for the fuel shutoff valve B for damage, corrosion, or loose pins.
  3. Measure voltage at the valve control circuit with the ignition on to verify the PCM is supplying power.
  4. Test the resistance of the valve coil and listen for actuation when the circuit is energized.
  5. Check the associated fuse and relay for continuity and proper operation.
  6. If all hardware appears functional, test the PCM output using a scan tool or multimeter to confirm proper signal.

Frequently asked

Do I need to replace the PCM to fix P2665?

Usually not; the most common cause is a faulty valve or wiring issue, and PCM replacement is only considered after all other components have been verified.

Can a blown fuse cause this code?

Yes, a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker in the fuel shutoff valve B circuit will open the control circuit and set P2665.

How long does it typically take to replace the fuel shutoff valve?

Replacement time varies by vehicle model but generally requires 30 to 60 minutes for a qualified technician.

Is it safe to drive with P2665?

Driving may cause stalling, loss of power, or difficulty starting, so the issue should be addressed promptly to avoid unsafe operation.
