Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like engine stalling, a long crank time, a no-start condition, or the dreaded P069E trouble code, the problem often points directly to a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out hundreds of times on vehicles like the Silverado, Tahoe, Escalade, and Sierra. The original module, often mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to harsh elements, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that leaves you stranded.

Expert Pro Tip from the Shop Floor
I’ve seen many replacement FSCMs fail prematurely due to a simple oversight. The module relies on its mounting bolts for a proper ground connection to the vehicle’s frame. Before installing your new module, take five extra minutes to thoroughly clean the mounting location on the frame with a wire brush. Removing all rust and corrosion ensures a solid ground path, which is critical for the longevity and proper function of the electronics inside.
Key Symptoms of a Failing FSCM:
- โ Check Engine Light with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination)
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- โ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor performance
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
We’ve made this repair as simple as possible. Because your new GM Fuel Control Module comes pre-programmed, the installation is a direct swap. While the exact location varies by model (check your service manual), for most trucks and SUVs, it’s a job you can do in your own driveway.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks (Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, etc.), you’ll find the FSCM mounted to the inside of the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Then, remove the bolts securing the old module to the frame.
- Prepare the Surface: As mentioned in our pro tip, clean the frame mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a perfect ground.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the battery terminal. The vehicle may require a few key cycles to prime the fuel system before it starts.
