Restore Your Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2010-2012 GMC Canyon or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, a no-start condition, or a persistent check engine light with fuel-related codes? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), also known as a fuel pump driver module. Located on the frame, these modules are constantly exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to internal corrosion and eventual failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. Don’t waste time and money chasing the wrong parts—solve the problem at its source with a reliable, pre-programmed FSCM.
This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all part. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming this module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer (ECM) and fuel pump, restoring the precise fuel pressure control your engine needs to run smoothly and efficiently. By installing our 2010-2012 Canyon FSCM, you’re getting a solution that is loaded with the latest GM software updates, often correcting issues the original factory part may have had. It’s a direct-fit replacement that eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2011 Canyon that came into my shop with an intermittent stalling problem that had two other mechanics stumped. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the truck would still die randomly at stoplights. A scan showed a U0109 code (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module). Instead of just throwing another part at it, we put it on the lift. The FSCM, mounted right on the rear frame crossmember, looked fine from the outside, but years of moisture and road salt had corroded the internal circuit board. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the problem was solved instantly. It’s a textbook example of how a failing FSCM can mimic a bad fuel pump.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These FSCM Failure Signs?
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or at idle.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ Reduced engine power or sluggish acceleration.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel gauge readings or fuel pump noise.
- ✔ The engine runs rough, sputters, or hesitates.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On the 2010-2012 Canyon/Colorado, the FSCM is typically mounted to the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire. On larger trucks and SUVs, it’s often on the driver-side (LH) frame rail.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the plastic tabs can become brittle. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FSCM into the same location. Ensure it’s mounted securely.
- ✔ Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click into place.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds before starting the engine to allow the system to prime. Start your vehicle and check for proper operation.
By choosing this pre-programmed 2010-2012 Canyon FSCM, you are not only getting a quality part but also the peace of mind that comes with a plug-and-play fix. Get your truck back to the reliable workhorse it was meant to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations your specific vehicle requires. This ensures seamless communication and proper function, eliminating the need for you to visit a dealer for programming.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed FSCM will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s main computer. This will likely result in a no-start condition, poor performance, and active fault codes. Our pre-programming service prevents these issues.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. The module is typically mounted to the vehicle’s frame and is accessible from underneath. Following our installation guide should make the process straightforward, usually taking less than an hour.
How do I know my old FSCM is the problem?
Common symptoms include stalling, no-start, and a check engine light with codes like P069E or U0109. While these can point to other fuel system issues, the FSCM is a very common failure point on these GM models, especially if the fuel pump has already been checked or replaced.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module directly replaces OEM part numbers 20791901, 20827745, and 20877116. If your old module has any of these numbers, this part is the correct replacement for you.
