Restore Reliable Starting and Performance in Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2010 GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, or Camaro suffering from frustrating no-start conditions, intermittent stalling, or a persistent Check Engine Light? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability and peace of mind.
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a faulty FPCM can mimic other, more expensive problems. Don’t waste time and money chasing phantom issues. Our replacement 2010 Terrain Fuel Pump Module is the direct, dependable solution you need. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for coding—it arrives ready for installation right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Stalling Equinox
A customer brought in a 2010 Equinox that would randomly stall at stoplights. There were no consistent trouble codes, just an occasional U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module) that would store as a history code. They had already replaced the fuel pump itself, with no change. After checking power and ground at the FPCM connector in the rear compartment, I noticed the voltage supply to the pump was erratic on my scope. The module was overheating and failing intermittently. We installed a new, properly programmed FPCM, and the stalling issue was completely resolved. This case highlights why replacing the 2010 Terrain Fuel Pump Module is often the correct fix for these specific symptoms, saving the customer from replacing a perfectly good fuel pump.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can cause a variety of issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Our pre-programmed module makes it even easier. Always follow proper safety procedures.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the Terrain and Equinox, the FPCM is typically found in the left-hand rear compartment area, behind the trim panel. On the Camaro, its location may vary but is often in the trunk area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt it from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new module into place, ensuring it is secure. Reconnect the electrical connectors, making sure they click firmly 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 needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready to install, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. The programming is essential for the part to communicate with your car’s computer system. We will contact you after your purchase to get this information.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2010 Terrain?
On the 2010 GMC Terrain and Chevy Equinox, the Fuel Pump Control Module is located in the rear of the vehicle, inside the left-hand (driver’s side) quarter panel trim.
Is this the same as the main computer (ECM)?
No, this is not the main Engine Control Module (ECM). This is a dedicated module that specifically controls the operation of the electric fuel pump.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is a very common code indicating a fault within the FPCM or its circuitry. Replacing the module is the most frequent and effective repair for this code.
