Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Cranking with No Start, or Throwing Fuel System Codes?
If you’re dealing with frustrating and intermittent fuel delivery problems on your 2010-2012 GM vehicle, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but this critical component: the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), also known as the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). Located on the frame rail of most trucks and SUVs, these modules are exposed to years of moisture, salt, and road debris, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This results in a vehicle that leaves you stranded without warning.
Real-World Diagnosis: A Common Misstep
“A customer’s 2011 Sierra 1500 came into my shop last month on a tow truck. It would crank but not start. He had just spent a fortune having another shop replace the in-tank fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E codeโa classic sign of a faulty FSCM. We swapped the module on the frame rail, and the truck fired right up. He could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by diagnosing the FSCM first. It’s one of the most common failures I see on this platform.”
The Smart Solution: A VIN-Programmed Module
Don’t just replace the partโget the permanent fix. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take a genuine GM module and program it with the latest official software calibration specific to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time and money. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
Symptoms of a Failing GM Fuel Control Module:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle starts and then stalls immediately or while driving
- โ “Service Fuel System” or “Engine Power is Reduced” message on the dash
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- โ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can get your truck or SUV back on the road in under an hour. For most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Escalade, the module is easily accessible.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM, typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors and unbolt the module from the frame. There are usually two or three bolts holding it in place.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module in place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming needed.
