Is Your Silverado Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues in your 2010-2012 Silverado 1500, the problem might not be your fuel pump. Over my 20+ years in the bay, I’ve seen countless truck owners replace their fuel pump only to find the real culprit was a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are constantly exposed to road salt, water, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This can trigger diagnostic trouble codes like P069E, P0230, or leave you stranded with a crank-no-start condition.
Real-World Diagnosis: “A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in last week with these exact symptoms: it would crank but not fire up. The check engine light was on with a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). Instead of jumping straight to the expensive fuel pump, we checked the FSCM first. We found heavy corrosion on the connector and the module housing. A new, properly programmed module had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes. It’s a textbook failure for these vehicles.”

Easy Installation for the DIYer
You can get your truck back on the road in less than an hour with basic hand tools. This is one of the most common and accessible repairs for a Silverado 1500 FSCM.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most Silverado models, the FSCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Prepare the Surface: Before installing the new module, use a wire brush to clean any rust or debris from the mounting location and the connector pins. This ensures a solid ground and connection, preventing future issues.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new VIN-programmed FSCM into place and securely plug in the electrical connector.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the battery terminal, cycle the key a few times to prime the system, and start your engine.
