Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
You turn the key, the engine cranks, but it just won’t catch. Or worse, it starts, runs for a few seconds, and then dies. Maybe you’re driving down the road and the engine suddenly loses power, displaying a “Service Stabilitrak” or “Engine Power is Reduced” message. If these scenarios sound familiar, you’re likely dealing with a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that leaves you stranded.
Just last month, a customer’s 2011 Sierra 1500 was towed to my shop with these exact symptoms. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious culprit, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed trouble code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. These modules are notorious for failing due to their location on the frame rail, where they’re exposed to water, salt, and road debris, leading to internal corrosion. The solution wasn’t another expensive guess; it was a reliable, correctly programmed FSCM.

Expert Pro Tip from 20+ Years on the Floor
Before installing your new FSCM, take a moment to thoroughly clean the vehicle-side electrical connector. Use a quality electronics cleaner and a small nylon brush to remove any green or white corrosion from the pins and housing. After it’s clean and dry, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the connector seal. This simple, two-minute step is the single best thing you can do to prevent moisture intrusion and protect your new module from the very issue that caused the original to fail.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Getting your truck or SUV back to factory-spec operation is straightforward. While locations can vary slightly, the process is generally the same for most GM trucks and SUVs.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and large SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), the FSCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire. On other vehicles like the CTS or LaCrosse, it may be in the trunk or rear compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) securing the old module to its bracket or the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location. Securely fasten the bolts/nuts and plug in the electrical connectors until they click.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle will now recognize the new module, and you’re ready to start the engine.
