Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Cranking with No Start, or Showing a P069E Code?
If you’re dealing with intermittent stalling, an engine that cranks but won’t fire up, or a persistent ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message on your dash, a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is the most likely culprit. I’ve seen this hundreds of times in my shop. These modules, especially on trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Escalade, are often mounted on the frame rail, exposed to years of water, road salt, and grime. This leads to internal corrosion and eventual failure, leaving you stranded.
A Real-World Diagnosis from My Bay
“Just last month, a 2011 Sierra 1500 was towed in with the classic no-start complaint. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue, but the problem remained. A quick scan showed code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. We located the FSCM on the driver-side frame rail, and the connector was green with corrosion. The module itself had failed due to moisture intrusion. This is a textbook failure, and replacing the module with a pre-programmed unit had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes.”
Why Your 2010 VUE Fuel Module Fails and How to Fix It for Good
The FSCM is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, the communication breaks down, leading to a host of fuel delivery problems. This isn’t just a part for a 2010 VUE; it’s a common component across a huge range of GM vehicles. Don’t waste money guessing or paying for expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees. This module is the direct, reliable solution.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new FSCM is straightforward. The location varies by model (e.g., on the frame rail for trucks, in the trunk for a LaCrosse, or in the rear engine compartment for a VUE), but the process is similar.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. On your 2010 VUE, it’s located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. For trucks/SUVs, it’s typically on the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the module from its mounting point.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
Expert Pro Tip: Inspect Your Connector!
Before plugging in your new module, take 30 seconds to inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness connector. Look for any signs of green or white corrosion, or broken/pushed-out pins. A compromised connector can cause immediate failure of the new module. Clean it thoroughly with a dedicated electronics cleaner and a small brush if any corrosion is present. This simple check ensures a long-lasting repair.
