Restore Your Vehicle’s Reliability and Performance
Is your truck or SUV suddenly stalling, struggling to start, or showing a check engine light? A faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is a common culprit, and it can leave you stranded without warning. This module is the brain behind your fuel pump, and when it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs. Don’t waste time and money guessing or replacing the wrong parts. This is the direct, reliable solution you need to get back on the road with confidence.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle out of the repair by pre-programming this 2010 VUE Fuel System Control Module with the very latest GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This critical step, which normally requires an expensive trip to the dealership, is done for you before we ship. The result is a part that works perfectly right out of the box, restoring original performance and fuel efficiency.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall
I had a 2011 Silverado 1500 in my bay that was driving the owner crazy. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a red light and refuse to restart for 20 minutes. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A scan showed a U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module) code stored in history. Instead of throwing more parts at it, I located the FSCM on the driver-side frame rail. On these trucks, they’re exposed to road salt, water, and heat from the exhaust. I found corrosion on the connector pins and the module itself was getting excessively hot. Replacing it with a VIN-programmed module solved the problem for good. It’s a classic failure I’ve seen dozens of times.
Is Your GM Vehicle Exhibiting These Fuel Issues?
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, or P0230
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs (like the Tahoe, Silverado, Yukon), the FSCM is mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On cars (like the CTS, Impala, Vue), it may be in the trunk area or rear compartment. A quick search for your specific model will confirm the location.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module in place.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connector(s) firmly into the new module. Reconnect your battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel pump to prime, then start the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to flash the module with the exact software and calibrations your specific vehicle requires. This ensures perfect communication between the FSCM and your vehicle’s other computers, guaranteeing a plug-and-play installation without any extra trips to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
Not at all. For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very straightforward repair. The module is typically held on by just a couple of bolts and has a simple electrical plug. The most challenging part is often just locating it on the vehicle frame or in a rear compartment.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work. Your vehicle will likely not start, or it will run very poorly and set multiple diagnostic trouble codes. The VIN-specific programming is essential for the part to function correctly.
How is this different from a part from a salvage yard?
A used part from a salvage yard is programmed to a different vehicle and carries the risk of being faulty already. Our module is a quality tested part loaded with the newest, cleanest software from GM for your specific VIN, ensuring reliability and longevity.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common indicators of a failing FSCM. Replacing your old module with our pre-programmed unit is the correct and reliable fix for this code.
