Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Are you dealing with frustrating engine stalls, a car that refuses to start, or a persistent Check Engine light? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component is the brain behind your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a costly repair bill from the dealership. This is the definitive solution for your 2010 Outlook Fuel Module and a wide range of other GM vehicles.
We take the guesswork and high costs out of the equation. This FSCM, part number 20877116, arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. Forget about towing your car to a service center or paying extra for programming. This is a true plug-and-play fix designed to get you back on the road quickly and confidently.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2011 Silverado 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner was at his wit’s end. He’d experienced intermittent stalling for weeks and had already paid another shop to replace the in-tank fuel pump, but the problem remained. His scanner showed a P069E code, pointing to a fuel pump control issue. A quick inspection under the truck revealed the culprit: the original FSCM, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. The electrical connector was green with decay. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. It’s a common scenario—the FSCM is often overlooked, leading to unnecessary and expensive fuel pump replacements.
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These FSCM Failure Signs?
A faulty FSCM can cause a variety of symptoms that are often misdiagnosed. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially while driving
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor acceleration
- ✔ Rough idle or hesitation
- ✔ Check Engine Light illumination with specific trouble codes
- ✔ Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): P069E, P0230, U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2010 Outlook Fuel Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. While the exact location varies slightly by model, it’s typically found on the frame rail or crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs, the FSCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On cars, it may be in the trunk or rear compartment area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle, as the plastic locking tab can be brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location. It’s a good practice to apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future corrosion.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks. Reconnect your vehicle’s battery.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to program the module with the exact software calibration and the latest updates from GM for your specific vehicle. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very straightforward repair. On most trucks, the module is easily accessible on the frame rail. The entire process often takes less than 30 minutes, saving you significant labor costs.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module (ECM). This will result in a no-start condition or severe running issues. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
Is this better than a part from a salvage yard?
Absolutely. A used part carries an unknown history and may have the same original software flaws or be close to failing itself. Our module is tested and loaded with the newest, most stable GM software, providing a more reliable, long-term solution.
Will this fix my P069E check engine code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FSCM is the direct cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Replacing it with this programmed unit is the correct and effective repair.
