Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run right. You turn the key, and it cranks but won’t fire up. Or worse, it stalls in the middle of traffic. If you’re experiencing issues like engine hesitation, a check engine light with code P069E, or a complete no-start condition, the culprit is very often a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). I’ve seen this exact failure hundreds of times in my shop, especially on GM trucks and SUVs where the module is exposed to the elements.
The Common Point of Failure: The FSCM
The FSCM, sometimes called the Fuel Pump Driver Module, is the electronic brain that controls your fuel pump. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump. This ensures your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs under all conditions. When it fails, fuel delivery becomes erratic or stops completely, leading to the symptoms you’re facing. On many vehicles like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Yukon, these modules are mounted on the frame rail, where years of exposure to water, salt, and road debris cause critical corrosion and internal failure.
Expert Pro Tip: Pre-Installation Check
Before installing your new module, take a moment to inspect the vehicle-side electrical connector. I’ve seen countless jobs where the new part fails prematurely because the connector itself was full of green corrosion. Use a small pick and some electrical contact cleaner to thoroughly clean the pins. Once it’s clean and dry, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector seal. This simple step costs almost nothing and can prevent moisture from getting in, adding years to the life of your new FSCM.

Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
You don’t need to be a master mechanic to perform this repair. With basic hand tools, you can have your vehicle running properly in under an hour.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Old Module: On a 2010 Saturn Vue, the FSCM is located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. On other vehicles like trucks and SUVs, it’s typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Remove the Old FSCM: Unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to its bracket or the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location. Following our expert tip, apply dielectric grease and securely plug in the electrical connector(s).
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting the engine) for 10 seconds to allow the fuel pump to prime the system. Start your engine and enjoy a smooth, reliable ride.
