What Causes Engine Fuel Cut-Off?
1 Answers
The causes of engine fuel cut-off include fuel system issues, electrical circuit problems, or brake light switch malfunctions. Below are detailed explanations: Fuel system issues: Problems with the fuel injector or throttle body can lead to fuel cut-off. Inspection of the fuel injector and throttle body is required; if issues are found, cleaning, repair, or replacement of the components may be necessary. Electrical circuit problems: Ignition coils, high-voltage packs, etc., can cause engine fuel cut-off. The vehicle's malfunction indicator lamp may display a warning. If no warning is shown, a diagnostic computer at a 4S shop can detect the fault, and repairs or replacements can resolve the issue. Brake light switch problem: Some vehicles are equipped with a brake override system. If the brake light switch becomes overly sensitive—for example, activating due to vibration—the engine control unit will prioritize braking by cutting off fuel to the engine when the brake light signal is on.
