Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with a vehicle that cranks but won’t fire up, experiences intermittent stalling, or has the check engine light on with fuel system codes like P069E, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but its controller. The Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), also known as the fuel pump driver module, is the electronic brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leaving you stranded.
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came into my shop last week with the classic crank-no-start symptom. The owner was convinced he needed a new fuel pumpโa costly and labor-intensive job. Instead of jumping to conclusions, we checked for power at the FSCM connector on the frame rail. It had power going in, but nothing coming out. The module was dead. We see this constantly, as these modules are exposed to water, salt, and vibration, causing internal failure. A new, programmed module had him back on the road in under 30 minutes.”

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can perform this repair in your own driveway with basic hand tools. The module is typically located on the driver’s side frame rail or near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.

- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts holding the old module in place.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module into the same location and securely plug in the electrical connector.
- Final Step: Reconnect the battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start and drive.
Expert Pro Tip: Clean Your Connection
Before plugging in your new module, take 30 seconds to inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness connector. Look for any signs of corrosion (white or green powder) on the pins. A poor connection can cause voltage drops and damage the new module over time. Use a small brush and some electronics cleaner to ensure the connection is pristine for a long-lasting repair.
