Is Your GM Truck, SUV, or Car Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than turning the key and getting nothing, or having your engine cut out unexpectedly in traffic. If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is experiencing issues like engine cranking but not starting, intermittent stalling, a check engine light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109, the problem is often not the fuel pump itself, but the module that controls it. This is the direct-fit, pre-programmed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) that will solve those issues for good.
From the Shop Floor: A Common Misdiagnosis
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 was towed in last month with a classic ‘crank, no-start’ condition. They had already spent hundreds replacing the in-tank fuel pump themselves, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a U0109 ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’ code. We put the truck on the lift, and sure enough, the original FSCM mounted on the driver’s side frame rail was heavily corroded. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the truck fired right up. They could have saved time and money by starting with the FSCM, which is a far more common failure point.”
The Smarter Solution: A True Plug-and-Play Fix
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. The dealership would charge you for the module and then add a hefty fee for programming. We handle the programming for you before the part ever leaves our facility. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we’ll flash the module with the latest, most stable software from GM. When it arrives, it’s ready for installation right out of the box.

Easy Installation Guide for Your GM Fuel Control Module
Replacing the FSCM is a straightforward job for a DIYer with basic tools. While the location varies slightly by model, the process is similar. Common locations include the driver’s side frame rail (trucks/vans), inside the trunk or rear quarter panel (sedans), or on a rear crossmember (SUVs).
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. On trucks like the Silverado and Sierra, it’s typically mounted to the frame rail under the driver’s door.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be sure to press the release tabs firmly. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting location.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, clean the mounting surface and the electrical connectors to ensure a solid connection and good ground.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FSCM into place and securely plug in the electrical connectors.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting the engine to allow the system to prime. Start your vehicle and enjoy restored performance.
