Fuel System Shutoff Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by the event notification signal. The event notification signal is a signal provided by the RCM to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shut-off the FP module. Should the vehicle shut-off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.
