Is your 2010 Camaro, Equinox, or Terrain suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start altogether? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). I’ve seen it countless times in my 20+ years on the shop floor: a perfectly good fuel pump gets replaced, only for the problem to persist. This module is the brain that tells the pump how much fuel to deliver, and when it fails, your engine is starved for fuel.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation. By providing your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout, you receive a module that is professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specific to your car. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and restores factory performance and fuel efficiency. This is the definitive fix for a faulty 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Module.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2010 Camaro that came in on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but it still wouldn’t start—it would just crank and crank. He was convinced he had a major electrical problem. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw DTC U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). Instead of starting a complex wiring trace, I went straight to the FPCM in the left rear of the vehicle. A quick check showed power and ground going in, but no signal coming out. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the car fired up on the first try. It’s a classic failure point that can mimic a bad fuel pump, saving you hundreds in misdiagnosis.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these symptoms, a failing FPCM is the likely cause. Replacing your 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Module can be the direct solution.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when warm
- ✔ Severe hesitation or stumbling under acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
With this pre-programmed module, installation is a simple plug-and-play process. No dealer visit is required.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2010 Camaro, Equinox, and Terrain, the FPCM is typically located in the rear of the vehicle, often on the driver’s side behind the trim panels or near the frame.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds before starting to allow the system to initialize. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle. This ensures seamless integration and proper function without needing a trip to the dealership.
Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
Not at all. Since the module comes pre-programmed, it’s a direct plug-and-play replacement. Basic hand tools are all that’s required, making it a very manageable job for a DIY enthusiast.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s engine computer (ECU). This will result in a no-start condition and will likely set communication fault codes. Our pre-programming service eliminates this issue.
Is this the same as the main computer (ECU/PCM)?
No, this is a separate control unit dedicated solely to managing the electric fuel pump. It receives commands from the main Engine Control Unit (ECU) and adjusts voltage to the pump accordingly.
Where is the FPCM located on a 2010 Camaro?
On the 2010 Camaro, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically found in the trunk area, on the driver’s side, mounted to the vehicle’s frame structure.
