Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2010 Cadillac SRX, Equinox, or Camaro suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start altogether? Before you suspect a costly in-tank fuel pump failure, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers face this exact issue. This module is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it fails, it can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to frustrating and incorrect diagnoses.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module, part number 20831728, and program it with the very latest vehicle-specific software directly from GM. All we need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s computer systems, restoring original performance and efficiency without any additional programming or trips to the dealership. This is the definitive fix for a failing 2010 SRX Fuel Module.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I remember a 2010 Equinox that was towed into my shop. The owner had already spent a significant amount of money replacing the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the car still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out of ideas. A quick scan revealed DTC P069E—a classic code pointing to the FPCM. The module wasn’t sending the correct voltage to the brand-new pump. We installed a VIN-programmed 2010 SRX Fuel Module (the same part fits the Equinox), and the engine fired up on the first try. He could have saved himself a weekend of work and hundreds of dollars by diagnosing the module first. This story is why we offer these pre-programmed units—to help you get the right fix, the first time.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or when warm.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible models like the Equinox and Terrain, the FPCM is located in the left-hand rear compartment or trunk area, often behind a trim panel. On the Camaro, it may be under the rear seat. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s location.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. It’s typically held in place by a couple of small bolts or nuts.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module onto the bracket and securely fasten it. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click firmly into place.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to prime. Start your vehicle and confirm the issue is resolved.
