Is your 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, or GMC Terrain suffering from frustrating and unpredictable drivability issues? Stalling at intersections, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start altogether are common signs that point directly to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your vehicle’s fuel delivery. When it falters, it can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your vehicle’s reliability.
This is your direct-fit, reliable solution. We offer a genuine GM-spec Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20831728, that arrives at your door completely programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership and the use of specialized scan tools. We handle the complex part, so you can get back to driving with confidence. By installing the latest GM software updates before we ship, we ensure your vehicle benefits from improved performance and stability, correcting the very issues that led to the original part’s failure.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent No-Start
I once had a 2010 Equinox in the bay with a ghost of a problem. The owner said it would crank but not start, but only on hot days after a short drive. Of course, it started perfectly every time for me. There were no hard codes, just a pending U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). Instead of just throwing parts at it, I monitored the FPCM data stream. Everything looked fine until I let the car heat soak for an hour. On the next key-on, I saw the voltage command to the fuel pump was zero, despite the PCM requesting fuel. The module itself was overheating and failing internally. Replacing the FPCM with a pre-programmed unit like this one solved the issue permanently. Intermittent electrical faults are often the first sign of a failing 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Module.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
If the FPCM is failing, your vehicle’s computer can’t properly regulate fuel pressure. This can manifest in several ways. Look out for these common warning signs:
- âś” Engine stalling, especially when coming to a stop or under load.
- âś” Extended cranking time or a complete no-start condition.
- âś” Noticeable hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power.
- âś” An illuminated Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Thanks to our pre-programming service, installing your new 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle. While the exact location varies slightly between models, the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On the Camaro, Equinox, and Terrain, the FPCM is typically located in the left-hand rear of the vehicle, often in the trunk or cargo area behind a trim panel.
- 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: Reinstall any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your car’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures seamless communication with other vehicle computers and flawless operation right out of the box.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (PCM/ECM) will not be able to communicate with it, resulting in a no-start condition and setting communication fault codes. Our pre-programming service solves this entirely.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For most individuals with basic hand tools, this is a relatively simple replacement. Since we handle the programming, it’s a plug-and-play process. The main task is accessing the module, which is typically behind a trim panel in the trunk or cargo area.
Will this fix my car’s stalling problem?
If the stalling is caused by a faulty FPCM, then yes, this part is the correct fix. The symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing module. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis to confirm the FPCM is the root cause before ordering.
Are part numbers 20831727 and 20875846 the same as this one?
Yes, part numbers 20831727, 20831728, and 20875846 are interchangeable. This module is a direct replacement for all of them and will be programmed with the latest software available for your vehicle.
