Is Your 2010-2012 Colorado Stalling, Cranking but Not Starting, or Showing a P069E Code?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery issues in your Chevy Colorado, you’ve come to the right place. As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless trucks sidelined by a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). Symptoms can start small—a slight hesitation or a rough idle—but they often escalate to a vehicle that leaves you stranded. The check engine light, often with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF), is a dead giveaway.
This isn’t just a part; it’s a direct solution. We are offering a genuine GM Fuel System Control Module, part number 20791901, that comes fully programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. We handle the complex part, so you can get back on the road faster.
Real-World Scenario: “A customer’s 2011 Colorado came into my shop last month. It would crank perfectly but wouldn’t fire up. He had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue, but the problem persisted. We scanned it and found the classic P069E code. A quick inspection under the truck revealed the original FSCM, mounted on the rear center frame crossmember, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. The internal electronics had failed. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a common failure point I’ve diagnosed hundreds of times.”

Easy Installation Guide for Your 2010-2012 Colorado FSCM
You can perform this replacement with basic hand tools. For the 2010-2012 Colorado and its sibling, the GMC Canyon, the module is typically located on a crossmember of the frame near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FSCM mounted to the rear center frame crossmember. It’s a small silver box with electrical connectors.

- Unbolt the Old Module: Remove the bolts or nuts holding the old FSCM to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
