Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
You turn the key, and the engine cranks but won’t catch. Or maybe it starts, but then sputters and dies unexpectedly at a stoplight. If you’ve scanned for codes, you’re likely staring at a frustrating P069E: Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Before you condemn the fuel pumpโa costly and labor-intensive jobโyou need to look at the component that’s actually in charge: the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last week with these exact symptoms: crank-no-start and a P069E code. The previous shop wanted to replace the in-tank fuel pump. I went straight to the FSCM on the driver-side frame rail. After years of exposure to road salt and moisture, the casing was corroded and the connector pins were green. A quick swap with a pre-programmed module had the truck running perfectly in under 15 minutes, saving the customer hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary work.”
The Real Problem: A Failed Fuel System Brain
The FSCM, often called the fuel pump driver module, is the brain behind your fuel delivery. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump. This ensures optimal fuel pressure under all driving conditions. On many GM trucks and SUVs, these modules are mounted on the frame rail, where they are constantly exposed to water, salt, and vibration, leading to internal failure and corrosion. When it fails, it can no longer command the fuel pump correctly, leading to a host of drivability nightmares.

Simple, No-Hassle Installation Guide
You can get your vehicle back on the road in minutes. While locations vary slightly, the process is straightforward.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the FSCM: On most trucks/SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Escalade), it’s on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On cars/crossovers (CTS, Acadia, LaCrosse), check the trunk or rear compartment area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module in place.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module into the same location. Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting to allow the system to initialize. Start your engine and enjoy a smooth-running vehicle.
