Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is experiencing sudden stalling, long crank times, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is a very likely culprit. This small but critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of fuel, often setting diagnostic trouble codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606 and leaving you stranded. Don’t let a failed module disrupt your lifeโthis is the reliable, permanent fix you need.
Real-World Diagnosis: From My Shop to Your Driveway
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last week. It would crank but never start, and he had a P069E code stored. He had already spent a significant amount of money replacing the in-tank fuel pump, assuming that was the issue, but the problem remained. This is a classic misdiagnosis I’ve seen dozens of times. We hooked up our diagnostic scanner and saw the FSCM wasn’t commanding the pump on at all. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the truck fired up on the first try. The original module, exposed to years of road salt and moisture on the frame rail, had failed internally. This story highlights why it’s crucial to diagnose the entire system, not just replace the most obvious part.”
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed GM Fuel Pump Module?
A new fuel pump module from the dealer is just a blank box. It requires specialized tools and a subscription to GM’s software service to program it, adding hundreds of dollars in labor to your repair bill. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, you receive a module that is 100% plug-and-play.

- โ Eliminate Dealer Costs: No need for an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming.
- โ Fix Common Fuel-Related Issues: A direct solution for stalling, hesitation, no-start conditions, and related check engine lights.
- โ Restored Performance: Ensures your fuel pump receives the correct voltage for optimal fuel pressure and engine efficiency.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new FSCM is a straightforward process that can be done with basic hand tools. While the location varies, here is a general guide. Always verify the location on your specific model.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, Escalade), it’s mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On cars and crossovers (CTS, Acadia, LaCrosse), it may be in the trunk or a rear quarter panel compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses. Ensure they click into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming needed.
