Is Your Colorado Stalling, Cranking But Not Starting, or Showing a ‘Service Fuel System’ Warning?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery issues in your 2010-2012 Chevy Colorado, a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is a very common culprit. I’ve seen it countless times in my 20+ years as a technician. A customer will come in convinced they need a new fuel pump, but a quick scan reveals the true problem: a P069E trouble code pointing directly to a failed FSCM. This module is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver, and when it fails, it can leave you stranded.
Don’t waste money on a dealership visit and expensive programming fees. We offer a simple, reliable solution. This genuine GM Fuel System Control Module, part number 20850927, arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software, specifically matched to your truck’s VIN. It’s a true plug-and-play fix that gets you back on the road without the hassle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FSCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- โ “Service Fuel System” message on the dash
- โ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P069E
- โ Reduced engine power or hesitation
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Tech
Before you install your new FSCM, take a close look at the wiring harness connector. These modules are often mounted on the frame rail where they’re exposed to moisture, salt, and road grime. This can cause corrosion not just on the module’s pins, but inside the connector itself. I always use a small pick and some electrical contact cleaner to meticulously clean the harness terminals. Installing a new part into a corroded connector is one of the most common reasons for a repeat failure.
Simple Installation for Your 2010-2012 Colorado FSCM

- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FSCM mounted to the rear frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Press the release tab firmly and pull straight out.
- Unbolt: Remove the bolts holding the old module to the frame.
