Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an engine that cranks but won’t catch, or one that dies unexpectedly at a stoplight. If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is experiencing these issues, especially with a Check Engine Light and code P069E, the culprit is very likely a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). In my 20+ years in the shop, I’ve seen this exact part cause headaches for countless owners. The original modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to years of water, salt, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and failure.
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came into my shop last week with a classic no-start condition. He had already spent a fortune replacing the in-tank fuel pump, assuming that was the problem. When that didn’t work, he brought it to us. A quick scan showed code P069EโFuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. We went straight to the FSCM on the driver’s side frame rail, and just as suspected, the housing was corroded and the connector was full of green crust. A new, programmed module had him back on the road in under 30 minutes. Don’t just throw parts at the problem; diagnose it right the first time.”

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Replacing your GM Fuel System Module is a straightforward job that most DIYers can handle. While the exact location varies, on most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Yukon, you’ll find it on the outside of the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. It’s a small, black or silver box with an electrical connector and a few mounting bolts.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Use a small pick to release the locking tab if necessary. Then, remove the mounting bolts and take the old module off the vehicle.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new part, clean the mounting surface and the electrical connector pins to ensure a solid connection. A little dielectric grease on the connector seal is a great preventative measure.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely plug in the connector until it clicks.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the battery terminal. Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly with the new module.
