Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2010-2012 GMC Canyon experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and chasing the wrong diagnosis. Over my 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen countless drivers replace perfectly good fuel pumps only to find the problem persists.
This is your direct-fit, permanent solution. We offer a genuine GM Fuel System Control Module that comes pre-programmed to your truck’s specific VIN. This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete fix in a box. We flash it with the latest, most stable software from General Motors before it ever leaves our facility. This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming and avoid the hassle of complex diagnostic tools. Get your truck back on the road quickly and confidently with a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box.
Case Study: The Misleading P069E Code
A customer brought in his 2011 Canyon, completely dead in the water. It would crank but never fire. He had already replaced the fuel pump himself after a parts store scanner pulled a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On). He was frustrated because the new pump didn’t change a thing. I immediately put a test light on the fuel pump connector—no power. Instead of going back to the tank, I went straight to the FSCM, located on the rear center frame rail. A quick check of the inputs showed the module was receiving the ‘on’ command from the ECM, but the output to the pump was dead. The original FSCM had failed internally. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. This saved the customer hundreds in wasted parts and diagnostic time.
Is Your Canyon Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FSCM can cause a variety of confusing symptoms. Here are the most common signs that point to a needed replacement:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, P0627, or P0230
- ✔ Reduced engine power or ‘limp mode’ activation
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2010-2012 Canyon FSCM is a simple process that most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since it arrives pre-programmed, no further electronic work is needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On the 2010-2012 Canyon, the FSCM is typically mounted to a crossmember on the rear center of the frame, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Be sure to press the release tab firmly. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new FSCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical harness back into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect your battery terminal. The installation is complete, and your vehicle is ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM. This ensures perfect communication with your truck’s other computers and guarantees a true plug-and-play installation without any extra steps.
Is this part difficult to install?
Not at all. For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a 30-minute job. Since it’s pre-programmed, the most challenging part is often just locating the module on the frame.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FSCM is the direct cause of a P069E code. Replacing it with our pre-programmed unit is the most common and effective repair for this specific issue.
What is the difference between an FSCM and a fuel pump?
The fuel pump is the mechanical device in the tank that moves fuel. The FSCM is the electronic ‘brain’ that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. They work together, but they are separate parts that can fail independently.
Are other part numbers compatible?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 20791901, 20827745, 20877116, and 20850927. Ordering this part ensures you get the correct component with the latest software.
