Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your truck stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is one of the most common culprits on modern GM vehicles. This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. This listing is for a direct-fit, VIN-programmed 2010-2012 Canyon FSCM that solves these issues for good.
Forget about expensive dealership visits and programming fees. We handle the complex part for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable software from General Motors. When it arrives at your door, it’s ready for a true plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2011 Silverado 1500 that was towed into my shop. The owner was frustrated because he had just replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t start. It would crank all day, but the fuel rail was dry. A quick check with a multimeter at the FSCM connector confirmed my suspicion: zero voltage output. The module, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a classic example of why you diagnose the system, not just swap parts.
Common Signs of a Failing FSCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing fuel control module is the likely cause. Replacing your 2010-2012 Canyon FSCM can be the definitive fix.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Loss of engine power and poor acceleration
- ✔ “Service Fuel System” message on the instrument cluster
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Loss of Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module)
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing this module is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. For a 2010-2012 GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado, the module is typically located on a crossmember near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: Find the FSCM on the rear center frame. It’s a small silver box with electrical connectors. On trucks like the Silverado or Sierra, it’s often on the driver-side frame rail.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle to avoid breaking the plastic clips. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FSCM into the original location. Ensure it’s secure.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical harnesses back in until they click. Reconnect your battery, turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to let the fuel pump prime, and then start the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) do?
The FSCM, sometimes called the Fuel Pump Driver Module, acts as a smart relay. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the speed and pressure of the fuel pump to ensure optimal fuel efficiency and engine performance.
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your VIN is critical. We use it to program the module with the exact software calibration for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This ensures seamless communication with other modules and guarantees plug-and-play functionality.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward job. The module is typically mounted to the vehicle’s frame and is accessible from underneath. Since our module comes pre-programmed, there are no special computers or software needed for installation.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing FSCM?
Ignoring the symptoms of a bad FSCM can lead to more serious issues. You may experience poor fuel economy and performance, but the biggest risk is the engine stalling while driving or a complete no-start condition, leaving you stranded.
How do I find my original part number to confirm compatibility?
The part number is printed on a sticker on your original module. However, this part replaces multiple numbers including 20791901, 20827745, 20877116, and 20850927. As long as your vehicle is on our fitment list, this module will work.
