Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2010 Camaro, Equinox, or Terrain suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a confusing diagnosis.
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicles come into the shop with these exact symptoms. The FPCM is subjected to heat and vibration, which can lead to internal electronic failure over time. The result is erratic fuel pressure, a check engine light, and a car you can’t trust. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. We offer a direct, reliable solution that eliminates the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Tricky Camaro Case
I remember a 2010 Camaro that came in with an intermittent stalling problem that was driving the owner crazy. It would run perfectly for days, then suddenly die at a stoplight. No codes were stored initially. We checked fuel pressure, and it was inconsistent—sometimes perfect, sometimes dropping to near zero right before a stall. After ruling out the pump and wiring, we focused on the 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Control Module. A thermal test, carefully heating the module with a heat gun, finally replicated the failure on demand. The internal board was failing when it got hot. Swapping in a pre-programmed module like this one provided an immediate, permanent fix and restored the owner’s confidence in their car.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Stalling, especially when warm or at idle
- âś” Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- âś” Rough or unstable idle
- âś” Check Engine Light is illuminated
- âś” Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
- âś” Reduced engine power or “limp mode” activation
The Critical Advantage: Pre-Programmed for Your VIN
Replacing an FPCM isn’t just a simple swap. A new module is essentially a blank slate and will not function until it’s programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) using specialized GM software. This typically means having your car towed to a dealership and paying significant labor charges. We eliminate that entire process. Simply provide us with your VIN during checkout, and our certified technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable GM updates for your exact vehicle. When it arrives, it’s ready for installation right out of the box. This is the smartest, most cost-effective way to get your car back on the road.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- âś” Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- âś” Locate the Module: On the Camaro, Equinox, and Terrain, the FPCM is typically located in the rear of the vehicle, often in the left-hand side compartment or near the spare tire well. You may need to remove some trim panels to access it.
- âś” Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. There are usually just a couple of small bolts or nuts holding it in place.
- âś” Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- âś” Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect your vehicle’s negative battery terminal.
- âś” Final Check: Start the vehicle. It should now start and run smoothly. The Check Engine Light may turn off on its own after a few drive cycles, or you can clear any stored codes with a standard OBD-II scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Control Module
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is required to load the correct GM-certified software onto the module. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your car’s engine computer and other systems, just like a part from the dealership, but without the extra cost and hassle of programming.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it arrives ready to install. No further programming or dealer visits are required. Just bolt it in, plug it in, and you’re ready to go.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2010 Camaro?
On the 2010 Camaro, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically found in the trunk area, on the driver’s side, behind the trim panel.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix for this code, provided the wiring is intact.
Is this part new or used?
This is a high-quality replacement part that has been professionally prepared and programmed with new, updated vehicle-specific software to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
