Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) can leave you stranded and frustrated, often triggering confusing check engine lights and mimicking the symptoms of a bad fuel pump. If your 2010-2012 Savana 1500 or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing erratic fuel delivery, you’ve found the reliable, hassle-free solution. This module is the brain of your fuel system, and when it fails, your vehicle’s performance and dependability disappear. Get back to work and back on the road with a part that’s ready to install right out of the box.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing FSCM can manifest in several ways, making diagnosis tricky. If you’re seeing any of these signs, this module is the likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light: Often with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or P0606.
- Starting Issues: The engine cranks but won’t start, or starts and immediately stalls.
- Poor Performance: Stumbling, hesitation during acceleration, or a general lack of power.
- No Fuel Pressure: The fuel pump isn’t activating when you turn the key.
Our programmed fuel system control module 20877116 is the definitive fix for these issues. We take the guesswork and extra expense out of the repair by pre-programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means no costly trips to the dealership for programmingโitโs a true plug-and-play repair.

An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
From over 20 years in the bay, I’ve seen countless fuel pumps get replaced when the real problem was the FSCM. These modules are typically mounted on the frame rail, where they are exposed to road salt, water, and constant vibration, leading to internal failure. Before you commit to the difficult job of dropping the fuel tank, check the FSCM. A simple test is to see if the fuel pump is receiving voltage while cranking. If it’s not, the FSCM is the first component to suspect. Replacing this module first can save you hundreds of dollars and a full day of labor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my vehicle’s VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential because it allows us to program the Fuel System Control Module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your truck or SUV’s engine, transmission, and other options. This ensures the part works perfectly right out of the box, just like the original.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most of the listed trucks and SUVs, the FSCM is located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. It’s typically held on by two or three bolts and has one electrical connector. For a DIYer with basic tools, it’s generally a straightforward replacement that can be done in under an hour. Since our module is pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the installation.
Will this module fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the P069E code is one of the most common indicators of a failed FSCM. This code specifically points to a fault within the module’s control circuit. While you should always confirm the diagnosis, replacing the FSCM is the standard and effective repair for this code.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work. It cannot communicate with the vehicle’s other computers, and the fuel pump will not activate. This is why our service of pre-programming the programmed fuel system control module 20877116 to your VIN is so critical for a successful repair.
How is this different from a part from a local auto parts store?
Most modules from local stores come ‘blank’ and require expensive, specialized scan tools to program them after installation. Our service includes the expert programming, delivering a complete, ready-to-install solution directly to you, saving you time, money, and the hassle of finding a shop to perform the programming.
