Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
Is your GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, a no-start condition, or a persistent Check Engine Light? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This crucial component, also known as a fuel pump driver module, is responsible for managing the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical reliability issue that needs a dependable solution.
This is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2010 VUE Fuel System Control Module. The biggest advantage? We handle the programming for you. Forget expensive dealership visits and the need for specialized scan tools. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our experts will flash this module with the latest GM software specific to your car or truck. It arrives at your door ready for a straightforward installation, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall
I had a 2011 Silverado 1500 in the bay that was a real head-scratcher for the owner. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight or hesitate badly under acceleration. No consistent codes at first, just a U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module) that would pop up intermittently. We checked fuel pressure, which was all over the place. Instead of a steady supply, it was erratic. The culprit wasn’t the fuel pump itself, but the FSCM mounted on the frame rail. These modules are exposed to road salt, water, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and failure. Replacing it with a pre-programmed unit like this one provided an immediate, permanent fix. The truck’s fuel delivery became stable, and the stalling issue was completely resolved.
Common Signs of a Failing FSCM
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start.
- âś” Sudden engine stalling, especially when coming to a stop.
- âś” Rough idling or hesitation during acceleration.
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- âś” Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- âś” Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- âś” Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On cars like the 2010 Saturn VUE, it’s located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment.
- âś” Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, unbolt the module from its mounting location. These bolts can sometimes be corroded, so a little penetrating oil might help.
- âś” Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FSCM into place. Ensure it’s securely fastened. Reconnect the electrical harness, making sure it clicks into place.
- âś” Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. It’s a good practice to cycle the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for a few seconds to allow the system to prime before starting the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by ‘programmed to my VIN’?
Modern vehicle modules are not interchangeable. Each one needs to be loaded with software specific to your vehicle’s exact configuration (engine, transmission, options). We use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the correct, updated GM software onto the module before shipping it. This ensures it works perfectly out of the box without a trip to the dealer.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No special tools are required. Basic hand tools like a socket set and ratchet are typically all you need to unbolt the old module and install the new one. The part is designed for a direct-fit, plug-and-play installation.
My part number is 20877116. Will this part work?
Yes. This module, part number 20791901, is a fully compatible replacement for part numbers 20827745, 20877116, and 20850927. We ensure the programming we apply matches your vehicle’s original requirements.
Where is this module located on my 2010 Saturn VUE?
On the 2010 Saturn VUE, the Fuel System Control Module is located in the engine compartment, specifically on the right-hand (passenger) side, towards the rear.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, a faulty FSCM is the most common cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the standard and effective repair for this issue.
