Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run right. You turn the key, and it either cranks endlessly, sputters to life and then dies, or runs with a dangerous hesitation. Often, a Check Engine Light will pop on with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606, pointing toward a fuel system problem. Many owners and even some shops immediately suspect the fuel pump, leading to an expensive and unnecessary repair. But after 20+ years in the garage, I can tell you that on these 2010-2012 GM vehicles, the culprit is very often the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
From the Shop Floor: A Real-World Scenario
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in last week with these exact symptoms. It would start, run for a few seconds, and then die. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. We hooked up the scan tool and saw the dreaded P069E code. Instead of guessing, we checked the voltage command to the fuel pump from the FSCMโit was erratic. The module, exposed to years of road grime and vibration on the frame rail, had failed internally. We installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. He could have saved himself hundreds of dollars and a full weekend by diagnosing the FSCM first.”
The Direct Solution: A True Plug-and-Play GM Fuel Control Module
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. The FSCM, also known as a fuel pump driver module, is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel. Our modules solve this problem by providing a reliable, pre-programmed component that is ready for installation right out of the box. We take your vehicle’s VIN and flash the module with the latest, most stable software from GM. This critical step ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s other computers, restoring factory performance and efficiency.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Replacing the FSCM is a straightforward process. While the exact location can vary slightly by model (check the left frame rail on trucks/SUVs or the rear crossmember/trunk area on cars), the steps are generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. It’s typically a small, finned aluminum box with one or two electrical connectors, mounted to the vehicle’s frame or chassis.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Be sure to press the release tab. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting point.
- Expert Pro Tip: Before plugging in your new module, take a moment to inspect the vehicle-side electrical connector. Use a small brush and electrical contact cleaner to remove any green or white corrosion. A poor connection is a primary cause of repeat failures.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place and securely plug in the connector(s) until they click.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting to allow the system to prime. Start your engine and enjoy restored performance.
