Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is cranking but won’t fire up, stumbling under acceleration, or has thrown a Check Engine Light with code P069E, the culprit is very likely a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This small but critical computer, often mounted on the frame rail, is responsible for commanding the fuel pump. After years of exposure to road grime, moisture, and vibration, its internal electronics can fail, leaving you stranded. Don’t waste money by guessing and replacing a perfectly good fuel pumpโsolve the problem at its source.

Expert Pro Tip: Check This Before You Order
From my 20+ years in diagnostics, I’ve seen countless FSCM failures. A common misdiagnosis is a bad fuel pump. Before you order, perform a simple check. With the key on, you should hear the fuel pump prime for a couple of seconds. If it’s silent and you have a P069E code, the FSCM is almost certainly the problem. Also, when you remove the old module, take a moment to clean the electrical connector and mounting surface with a wire brush to ensure a solid connection and ground, which is vital for the new module’s longevity.
Symptoms of a Failing GM Fuel Control Module
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty FSCM is the likely cause:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially while driving
- โ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- โ Check Engine Light illuminated with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF)
- โ No sound from the fuel pump when the key is turned to the ‘on’ position
Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Installing your pre-programmed module is straightforward. While the exact location varies by model (check your service manual), the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), the FSCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other vehicles (CTS, LaCrosse), it may be in the trunk or rear compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module in place.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM and securely tighten the fasteners.
- Reconnect: Plug in the electrical connector until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start Your Engine: Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly with restored fuel pressure and performance.
