Is Your 2010 Saturn VUE Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run right. You turn the key, it cranks, but it just won’t fire up. Or maybe it starts, but then sputters and stalls in traffic. If you’re seeing a check engine light with codes like P069E or P0230, the problem often points directly to a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). For years, I’ve seen customers in my shop replace fuel pumps thinking that’s the issue, only to have the same problem persist. The real culprit is often this small but critical electronic controller.

Plug-and-Play Installation Guide for Your 2010 VUE FSCM
You can get this job done with basic hand tools. The key is knowing where to look. On the 2010 Saturn VUE, the FSCM is located in the right-rear area of the engine compartment.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Open the hood and find the FSCM on the right (passenger) side, towards the back of the engine bay.
- Disconnect Connectors: Carefully press the release tabs on the electrical connectors and pull them straight off the module. Never pull by the wires.
- Unbolt the Old Module: Remove the nuts or bolts holding the old FSCM to its mounting bracket.
- Install the New FSCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in place and tighten the fasteners securely.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors back into the new module until they click, and then reconnect your battery terminal.
- Prime the System: Turn the ignition key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting) for 5 seconds, then turn it ‘OFF’. Repeat this 2-3 times to allow the fuel pump to prime the system before starting the engine.
Expert Pro Tip from 20+ Years on the Floor
A customer’s 2010 Saturn VUE came in last week with these exact symptoms—crank-no-start and a P069E code. They had already spent money on a new fuel pump with no success. The issue was a corroded FSCM. Before you install your new module, take a minute to inspect the electrical connectors closely for any green or white powder (corrosion) or signs of moisture. Clean them thoroughly with a dedicated electronics cleaner. A clean, dry connection is absolutely critical for the longevity and proper function of the new module.
