Restore Your Camaro’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, or GMC Terrain experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component is the brain behind your fuel pump, regulating the precise voltage and fuel flow your engine needs to run smoothly. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and chasing intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicles come into the shop with these exact symptoms. The FPCM is often the culprit, but simply replacing it isn’t enough. A new module requires specific programming to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to function correctly. This is where our solution stands out. We take the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership out of the equation. This is a direct-fit 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Module that we professionally program with the latest GM software updates before it ever leaves our facility. All we need is your VIN after purchase.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall
I remember a 2010 Camaro that came in with a complaint that stumped a few other shops: it would randomly stall at stoplights, but not every time. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a stored history code for low fuel pressure. We checked the fuel pump, lines, and filter—all were fine. On a hunch, I monitored the voltage command to the fuel pump from the FPCM. I noticed that during long idles, the voltage would erratically drop, starving the engine of fuel and causing the stall. The module wasn’t completely dead, but it was failing under specific conditions. Replacing it with a pre-programmed unit like this one provided an immediate, permanent fix. It’s a perfect example of why having a reliable, correctly programmed module is non-negotiable for these vehicles.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, a faulty fuel pump control module could be the cause. Replacing your failing unit with this pre-programmed module can resolve these problems:
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Stalling, especially when the engine is warm or at idle.
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ An illuminated Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new FPCM is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. Since we program the module for you, no special scan tools are needed for setup. Always follow proper safety procedures.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On the Camaro, the FPCM is typically located in the trunk area. For the Equinox and Terrain, it’s found in the left-hand rear compartment. It’s a small black box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness connector. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. There are usually two small bolts or nuts holding it in place.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module onto the bracket and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Firmly plug the electrical connector back into the new FPCM until it clicks into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful and the engine runs smoothly.

This module is a guaranteed fit for the following vehicles. It is a direct replacement for part numbers 20831727, 20831728, and 20875846. Please provide your VIN upon checkout to ensure perfect programming for your specific model.
- 2010 Chevrolet Camaro (Fuel Pump Control Module)
- 2010 Chevrolet Equinox (Fuel Pump Control Module, located in LH rear compartment)
- 2010 GMC Terrain (Fuel Pump Control Module, located in LH rear compartment)
Your vehicle’s VIN is essential because it allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your car’s unique configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
No, this is a very DIY-friendly repair. Since the module comes pre-programmed, the installation is a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process. You just need basic hand tools to access and replace the module. See our installation guide above for the general steps.
We cannot ship the part without your VIN. The programming is a critical part of the service we provide. An unprogrammed module will not work correctly in your vehicle. We will contact you after your purchase to retrieve the VIN before we can process and ship your order.
Yes, a faulty FPCM is a very common cause for the P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). While you should always perform a full diagnosis, replacing a confirmed-bad module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
