Narrative:

The crew from [aircraft X] called over the aircraft radio enroute to ZZZ1. They said that his blue overhead fuel valve light was illuminated. I asked if the engine was still running; they said yes. I asked if the engine was operating within normal parameters; they said yes. I asked if there was any engine fluctuation; they said no. I told him that it appeared to be an indication issue. The crew agreed and continued the flight to ZZZ1. I completed a turnover report in the maintenance control turnover log that the overhead blue engine valve light was illuminated. Upon landing in ZZZ1; the [flight] crew created a discrepancy that it was the spar valve light that had illuminated in flight. I had believed that the crew was discussing that it was the engine valve light that was illuminating. Because of this belief; I had even discussed with the crew there would be a possibility MEL'ing valve in ZZZ1. I turned this information over to the on-coming maintenance control shift. The aircraft engine valve was MEL'd in ZZZ1 by the on-coming shift. The aircraft flew to ZZZ2 where company maintenance determined that the MEL may have been incorrectly applied. ZZZ2 maintenance corrected the spar valve problem and cleared the engine valve MEL. ZZZ2 maintenance noted that the discrepancy and the resolution did not balance.my belief had been that the crew had been seeing an engine valve fault. I turned this information over to the on-coming shift. The crew wrote that they had a spar valve fault. The on-coming shift used my turnover report to apply an MEL that may have not been correct. ZZZ2 maintenance replaced the spar valve and cleared the engine valve MEL. Ensure that discrepancies and resolutions balance.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: Two Maintenance Controllers; an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) and a Captain describe their involvement with a reported # 2 Engine Fuel Spar Valve Overhead Blue light fault that was miscommunicated and deferred as an Engine Valve Blue fault light on a B737-800 aircraft. A downline Maintenance Station noted that the original discrepancy and the resolution did not match. Spar valve was replaced and Engine Valve MEL cleared.
