Is Your Express Van Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a work van that’s unreliable. If your 2010-2012 Express 1500 is experiencing sudden stalling, a crank-no-start condition, or a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message, the culprit is often a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). As a technician with over 20 years on the floor, I’ve seen this exact issue countless times. The FSCM is the brain of your fuel pump, and when it fails, it leaves you stranded.
Real-World Diagnosis: From the Shop Floor
“A customer’s 2011 Express 1500 work van came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank all day but never fire up. The driver said it had been hesitating for weeks. A quick scan showed code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. We put it on the lift, and sure enough, the original FSCM on the frame rail was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We swapped it with a pre-programmed module, and the van fired right up. It’s a textbook failure for these vehicles.”

Expert Pro Tip: Ensure a Perfect Connection
Before plugging in your new module, take a moment to inspect the vehicle’s harness connector. Use a small brush and electrical contact cleaner to remove any green or white corrosion from the pins. A clean connection is critical for the new module to function correctly and prevents future communication errors.
