Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is experiencing sudden stalling, extended cranking times, or a complete no-start condition, a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is the most likely culprit. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times, especially on trucks and SUVs where the module is exposed to the elements. A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in last week with these exact symptoms, accompanied by the dreaded P069E trouble code. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. The real issue was the FSCM, the small computer that commands the fuel pump. After a quick replacement with a properly programmed module, the truck ran like new.

Expert Pro Tip: Prevent Future Failures
The original FSCM on many GM trucks and SUVs is mounted on the frame rail, making it highly susceptible to water and road salt corrosion. Before installing your new module, take a moment to thoroughly clean the vehicle-side electrical connector with a contact cleaner. After it dries, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector pins. This simple step creates a moisture barrier and can prevent the connection from corroding, significantly extending the life of your new part.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FSCM:
- โ Engine stalls unexpectedly while driving
- โ Vehicle cranks but will not start
- โ “Service Fuel System” or “Engine Power is Reduced” message on the dash
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606
- โ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Replacing the FSCM is a straightforward job for any DIYer. While the exact location varies by model (check your service manual), it’s typically found on the driver’s side frame rail on trucks and SUVs or in the trunk/rear compartment on sedans and crossovers.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. On a Silverado or Sierra, it’s usually on the frame rail near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the module from its mounting location.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely plug in the connector.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the battery terminal. Your vehicle should now start and run correctly with no further programming needed.
