Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your vehicle stalling unexpectedly, struggling to start, or showing a persistent check engine light? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), a critical component responsible for managing your fuel pump’s operation. When it falters, it can leave you stranded. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers replace their fuel pump, only to find the real problem was this module. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a permanent solution designed to get you back on the road with confidence.
The biggest challenge with replacing an FSCM has always been the mandatory, and often expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that hassle. This module is not just a part in a box; it is a complete service. Before we ship, our experts will flash the module with the latest GM-certified software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This means it arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation. This is the same process a dealer would perform, but without the high labor costs and appointment delays. By installing our pre-programmed 2010 Vue Fuel System Control Module, you’re restoring the precise fuel pressure control your engine needs for optimal efficiency and power.
A Technician’s Notebook: The P069E Code That Wasn’t the Fuel Pump
A 2011 Silverado 1500 was towed into my bay with a classic complaint: it would crank but not start, and sometimes it would stall while driving. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted, now with a stubborn P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). A quick check under the truck revealed the culprit. The original FSCM, mounted to the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. The internal circuit board was compromised, preventing it from properly commanding the new fuel pump. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. It’s a textbook case I’ve seen hundreds of times—the FSCM is often the root cause, not the pump itself.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FSCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the most likely solution.
- ✔ Engine stalls, especially under load or when coming to a stop.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks for a long time before starting, or fails to start at all.
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, U0109, P0230, or P2635.
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle.
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2010 Vue Fuel System Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. While the exact location varies by model, the process is generally similar.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Escalade), the FSCM is mounted on the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Saturn Vue, it’s typically found in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. For cars like the CTS or LaCrosse, check the trunk or rear quarter panel area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the chassis.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click firmly into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific GM software. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s other computers and guarantees proper fuel system function, making the installation truly plug-and-play.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIY enthusiasts with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward repair. The module is typically in an accessible location (like the frame rail or trunk) and is held on by a few bolts. The biggest benefit is that our pre-programming saves you the most difficult step: the trip to the dealer.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work. Your vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM) will not recognize it, and it will be unable to operate the fuel pump. This will result in a no-start condition and will require a tow to a shop with advanced programming capabilities.
How do I know if the FSCM is bad and not the fuel pump?
While symptoms can be similar, a key indicator is the presence of FSCM-specific diagnostic codes like U0109 or P069E. Additionally, on many trucks, the module’s location on the frame makes it highly susceptible to corrosion, which is a common point of failure. If the pump was recently replaced and problems persist, the FSCM is the prime suspect.
Will this fix my P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, the P069E code is caused by a faulty Fuel System Control Module. This pre-programmed module is the correct and reliable fix for that specific issue.
